Darwin (Apple's open source flavor of BSD Unix that powers Mac OS X) uses a complicated build system and nontraditional kernel. I doubt you would be able to compile and use the driver even if it is POSIX compatible if it hasn't been explicitly ported over to the Darwin platform. Your mother should have the iMac serviced by Apple. They're known to be fairly generous with repairs.
