I think that, early on, OS X had a problem with sendmail and a few 
other packages that assumed case sensitivity in their package contents 
(two files whose names differ only by case).  But with current versions 
of both, it seems to build just fine.  I didn't encounter any problems 
at all (but I also never tried to build it on earlier versions of OS 
X).

And, OS X is _much_ more like a standard BSD flavor than Nextstep was.

Like what?  The only thing I can directly think of where you wouldn't 
find something standard where you might expect it is the location of 
system wide perl modules.  And that's a fairly easy thing to cope with.
