I think he was saying that theoretically there could be people that have 
installed it on OSX.

Build from sources would be most likely way. There are some signs that people 
have been looking into it:

Google gives other hits, too. While all of the upper layers should be fine, 
there are no OSX specific probes. Anything in the unix schema _ought_ to work 
assuming libraries are ported.
