I would think there is a good chance. There is an X11 setup for OS X. You
can download it from various places online, or it comes with OS X.3 (but
I don't believe it is part of the default install, so you have to choose
to install it).
I know OpenOffice was ported to OS X for use with X11. I just don't know
how much was involved beyond a recompile.
