OS X is based on BSD (Berkeley Source Distribution) which began 
as a licensed variant of Unix. Scribus is a Unix clone. So they are 
at least siblings under the skin, and many packages, libraries etc. 
will run on either.  Apple has done its best to hide the Unixy parts 
of OS X but they are there if you dig deep enough.  I have Cairo on 
my Slackware Linux system because it is required by among 
other packages Scribus.
