If you want to run UNIX on Apple architecture, then one choice is OS X. You can download and run the OS X kernel, Darwin for free. What you pay for in OS X is the cool graphical tools, AQUA, COCOA, etc. If you want just run freeware, then you can download Darwin, download GCC and then run XFREE86 no problem, if you want X.

spectool - manual page for spectool v1.0.10rpmdev1 SYNOPSIS
spectool [<options>] <specfile> DESCRIPTION
Spectool is a tool to expand and download sources and patches from specfiles. If you experience problems with specific specfiles, try to run rpmbuild --nobuild --nodeps <specfile> on the file which might give a clue why spectool fails on a file (ignore anything about missing sources or patches). The plan is to catch errors like this in spectool itself and warn the user about it in the future. OPTIONS
