This is a little vague.  Here's a couple ideas :

1.  If you want C source, there are a number of regex implementations
	which are not Mac specific, but easily portable.  People have
	done it.  I don't think any are strictly public domain, but
	most have liberal copyrights.

2.  If you want to just USE a regex program, there are several.  Another
	poster mentioned GNU grep.  You might want to take a look at
	BBEdit and Alpha, both are freely distributable text editors
	with such capabilities.  Tickle is a scripting language which
	includes regex.
