While it's certainly possible that Sparks might have to stop development on Atlantis at some point, doing so without making a very clear announcement would be quite a bit out of character. Also, a quick look at the Atlantis/Riverdark forums doesn't show abnormal "inactivity." It was six months from the last version to this most recent (June) one, so I think four months without a release shouldn't be much cause for worry.

However, if someone wants other Mac options, there's also Trebuchet. I don't like its user interface, but it may be alright for most. And, there's TinyFugue. Neither of those are clients I'd use, but at least neither of them require setting up and running WINE (talk about potentially flaky development) or a virtual machine. For that matter, someone could install Windows through BootCamp and running MUSHClient in Windows... but why go to all that trouble for text on a screen?
