I wouldn't say it's "merely" a unix system for the Mac;  it's a damn
good one.  See the comp.unix.aux FAQ for more details;  in addition
to being posted to comp.unix.aux and news.answers it is available
by ftp from jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov.

To answer a couple of quick questions, yes, it needs a fast machine 
with FPU and lots of disk space;  so does any other "complete" unix
implementation.  Yes, gcc and other unix standards are available.
