I have been considering developing a software synth for Mac. Since a lot of people here are audio guys, and since I know Thorsten even made a SID prog. Can someone offer some guidance or reading related to making a soft synth? As well as the how the SID works mathematically? I’d be really interested.
I’m positive that the VST SDK contains examples and docs to get started

You can find a lot of indepth SID info using Google. Here are some nice articles, especially the Yannes interview deals with SID internals
Thanks, that’s a great place to get started.
Maybe there’s something similar with AU (because I’m developing on Mac)?

Try looking on Apple’s developer pages, the CoreAudio API documentation plus examples are in there.
If you already have XCode and the CoreAudio SDK installed, there should be tons of examples in
the Library folder on your Mac, too.
