Behave? Yes. But...

I don't think anyone's made this point yet -- one key difference between
the platforms is the display of form elements.

Elements like buttons and select menus and checkboxes, etc., pretty much
belong to the operating system and the browser is only borrowing them.
If your design has an expectation that those elements can be finely
controlled, cross-platform, then you might get an unpleasant surprise. 

For instance, if you have documentation which says "click on the button
which looks like this [image of the button from a Windows browser]" then
Mac users may not have a button which looks like that.
