Earlier here we discussed the difficulty of making Mac builds from
other OSes, and at the time we were focused on Windows.
I just ran this simple test on Ubuntu 10.04:
1. Make a Mac standalone
2. Zipped it
3. Copied the Zip file via USB drive (FAT16, FWIW) to my Mac
4. Unzipped it
5. Double-clicked it
RESULT: Ran just fine.
Apparently since both OS X and Linux have the same Unix executable
bit, it carries over across platforms.
I've been lusting after the Lemur UltraThin from System76:

Knowing that I can build for all three platforms from that system
pushes a bit closer to getting one....
Font detection ????? How are you going to be sure that your stack, made
on Linux, is going
to behave itself on Mac when:
1. There is no real parity with fonts.
2. On Linux RunRev cannot even detect user-installed fonts.
Time and time again; whether moving standalones from Mac-Win, Win-Lin,
Mac-Lin, and so on for all the possible
combinations; the thing that has gone wonky has been the font display.
I always take a stack over to the target platform and then go through,
text field by text field
checking the font display; and , often as not, muttering dark thoughts
and resetting the
font settings.
