X11 goes back to way before Mac OS X, as well as long before Linux. I first built X11 on SunOS (not Solaris) in 1989, on a workstation that was running Sunview.
I still own a copy of Mac X (or some such) that ran on System 7. I've never read the X11 spec but my understanding is that it only defines the "wire protocol" - that is, what is expected from the network connection. XLib is built _on_ _top_ of the network protocol, but isn't defined by it. When I was working on MacTCP QA in 1990, there was some discussion of building a native Mac OS alternative to the UNIX XLib, but this wasn't pursued.
