It seems like this is becoming a FAQ.
IE Tab acts as a shell (alternative interface) for Internet Explorer, which
must *already* be installed on your computer. It is not an IE emulator written
from the ground up. It's just a black box that fires up the IE components that
are already on every Windows machine.
To implement something like that on Mac OS would require having IE on the Mac.
So you would have to first persuade Microsoft to resume developing and
releasing IE for OS X, and you'd have to convince them to do it in a manner
that would allow other OS X applications like Firefox to be able to access
IE's rendering engine and other APIs.
