If you mean, portable to all dialects of Unix and Unix-like systems, I
am pretty confident in answering "no". But it might be possible to
support many such systems, e.g. by exploiting the DMG format ("disk
image" within a single file), native to MacOSX, that can be used in
Linux (and I believe in some other Unix variants) by mounting the file
as a "loop device" (there's all sort of niggling issues, such as the
need to be root to do so, but perhaps there might be workarounds...).
