If you look at the documentation for Linux, Open Systems POSIX, MacOS, and FreeBSD versions of date, you'll find the MacOS and FreeBSD are pretty much exact duplicates. What differences there may be look to be just differences between software versions.

While the MacOS version should be able to execute a POSIX compliant date command, that version has quite a bit of added on bells and whistles.
