OSX and OSx86 uses a Unix like kernel called Darwin (based on both Mach kernel
and BSD subsystem), this makes many programs easy to port from other Unix like
systems, but OSX/OSx86 uses Quartz and not X Windows System (even if it can be
run ontop, in the same way it's done with CygWin for microsoft), which leads
to that there are major differences when it comes to graphical applications
and those can't just be ported, you need to rewrite parts of the graphical code.
In a similar way, QNX uses Photon, so not all Unix like systems uses X Windows
System.
