Mac Game Programming

Hey everyone, I am new to programming on the mac and was curious about Cocoa and do I need to learn it?My goal is to work on a 2d Tile based RPG like the old final fantasy, and dragon warrior games. So, I will be using OpenGL and I am thinking about using SFML as well. Do you guys think it is worth the extra time to learn a new API (Cocoa) for this type of game ? I'd also like to keep the code portable to Windows / Linux as well. I know Cocoa is not available there, but I'd learn and use it if it would help my programming.I'm working on a Macbook with Snow Leopard and Xcode 3.2.Thanks for any advice you can give.Michael
