That's an unknown. There is no Mac emulator to speak of, and although
FreeBSD and the Mac OS share a common root they're not the same. You'd
need to really research where the differences lie and establish
something like a mac_compat to accomplish that goal.

But then do you really want to be supporting a corporation that refuses
to work with OSS? They've only supplied readers to linux, and have
outlawed the use of these on FreeBSD. Not really worth propping up when
with less effort you could learn to use and extend the free stuff thats
out there like Gimp and Scribus which would be beneficial to all.
