I think think some drivers have been ported from Linux to *BSD
or vice versa, but I don't think that any of them are maintained
in a common source repository.

If it is possible to run Unix/X11 applications under Mac OS-X, then
it would be desirable to provide the DVB API for Max OS-X, for ease
of porting applications. I've no idea if/how this would work with
native OS-X apps, though.
