No, the Solaris version of FrameMaker obviously does not run on
the Macintosh nor could it be "simply recompiled" to do so. There
are VAST differences between the Solaris environment and the
MacOS X environment, especially when it comes to integration with
the display, input, fonts, and printing subsystems.
MacOS X may have a "UNIX-like kernel" but that is where the
similarity with UNIX ends.
