The most striking thing for me between Tweetie and Twitter for Mac (Tweetie 2), other than the dark sidebar, was the use of Helvetica instead Lucida Grande. It's subtle, but I believe it's a big step toward making an app feel like it was made for OS X instead of iOS.

Reeder for Mac, another port of an iOS app, is another good example. It uses Helvetica and it uses slide animations that make me think that the Reeder window has moved a few hundred pixels to the left.
