Mac OS X's native graphics system is Display PDF, _not_ X11. That is
because it's not really MacOS in the traditional sense at all, but
rather is under the hood the new version of NeXT Computer's NeXTStep OS,
an early and very strange fork of BSD. (There is an emulation engine
for running traditional MacOS applications, called Classic.app.)
It's possible to run X11 on top of OS X, either instead of or in
conjunction with its Display PDF graphics engine. There is a port of
XFree86 usable for this purpose -- or you can use a proprietary X11
package from Tenon.
It's possible, however, that none of this answers Holden Hao's question
("Is Mac OS X tecnically possible for Linux"). I still don't understand
what Holden was asking about.
