LibreOfficeKit is currently unavailable for OSX. One approach you might take is to create a stubbed platform-specific source file to develop the majority of your project on OS X (e.g. my_lok_integration_darwin.go). This way, most of your development can be done on OS X. When you're ready to write an actual my_lok_integration, switch over to a Linux Virtual Box VM, Docker, your preferred method, and create my_lok_integration_linux.go.

Go is smart enough to only compile the source file that is applicable to the current platform. Hope this helps. Cheers.

P.S. For those who only need file conversion from Libre — create a _darwin.go variety that calls soffice directly (for your development convenience):

exec.Command("soffice", "--headless","--convert-to", format, outFilePath, "--outdir", "/tmp")

You can then create a _linux.go implementation using go-libreofficekit for "production".

well basically libreofficekit are just some headers.
however throwing them at Mac will fail with Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'nextEventMatchingMask should only be called from the Main Thread!'
