I don't work for OmniGroup, but I am a developer (Attendance iPhone/iPad application). While Linux and OS X share the same basic low level APIs, the higher level frameworks/libraries for the GUIs are different. Many Linux X11 apps can easily be run on OS X since OS X has X11, but the Cocoa GUI frameworks used on OS X are not available on Linux. There are GnuStep/OpenStep that attempt to clone the APIs, but I don't think they are anywhere near complete or up to date with Apple's additions to 10.6.

So in summary, it is highly unlikely it could easily be ported to Linux.
