xCode comes with GCC as far as I remember.

emacs?

Use CMake to compile and whatever your preferred text editor with syntax highlighting is for editing. I use SublimeText 3.

Install Xcode and you will get LLVM installed, or you can manually install GCC.
Then that is it, use what ever text editor you want, I use emacs.

You can sue autotools but cmake is much better.

Borland C++ is a IDE for Windows. Wiki thinks it finally died in 1997. So I suppose the answer is Windows 98SE or XP in a virtual machine. That will be a hellish way to write C++.

Emacs and clang (C++ front end to LLVM) are as good as C++ environments get. Both are definitely available on a mac.

It would help if you gave us a bit more background
