No, "test" and "expr" are separate programs.
The above would be
if test "$(expr "$(uname -a)" : Darwin)" -ne 0 ; then

Except the "test" invocation is entirely redundant, expr is already intended
to be used as the program for an if condition. You can just do:
if expr "`uname -a`" : Darwin >/dev/null ; then
