Runtime Revolution is cross-platform insofar as it can lever components that are often present on target platforms; it is not 'platforn neutral' in that it still depends on those components being there, when they are not a given.
I'm curious how you'd play back video without a video component installed.
There are other postings just now that would seem to suggest RR is reducing exactly how cross-platform it is, as support for UNIX and others seems to have been left behind.
As Richard mentioned, most of the other UNIX systems are very old. They are still served by older versions of the engine however. There's also the issue of just how many man-hours RR should invest in maintaining support for operating systems that may be used by only a handful of customers (if that.) Linux has the largest installed base right now and serves almost all RR's customers well.
