as far as i know KOSMOS wont work on macOSX as it depends on microsoft.net library
and osmarender and mapnik do need to mount a database... (the headache),
right?

.svg on inkscape wont show any layers in gui.
.pdf on illustrator brakes down typography and outputs a single layer, i think is due that your .pdf is a simple/small one not full featured and not intended to be edited.
.svg on illustrator shows a single layer, but there are more nested into it.
i didn't see that until now.
so it may do the trick !

ill inspect it tomorrow and will give you feedback on this.
if it already makes some layers maybe i quite easy to control that a bit
