FrameMaker on UNIX is X11/Motif based for the UI and dialogs, such
      that it ships with custom versions of the XLibs and Motif 1.2. All
      the code would need to be replaced by Aqua-based UI code.
      Printing is done by generating an intermediate printer language and
      running it through fmprintdr.ps to generate PostScript Level 1. That
      would be replaced by CUPS-aware printing going through the MacOS-X
      printing model.

Just a footnote: We implemented a CUPS filter last year that converts the intermediate printer language to level 2 PostScript (including spot color support in a composite workflow).
