As far as we at Adobe know, drivers and applications on both platforms should be able to deal with PPD files from each other if you make sure that the filename has the .PPD suffix.

Some printer vendors in fact do issue different PPD files for Mac versus Windows when they want different text to be displayed by the driver based upon platform. But it normally does not need be that way.
