Depends on which parts of it you focus on, since the "core"
of Mac OS X is a BSD/Mach kernel - you can't get more Unixy then
that. But yes, everything that sits on top of it is more "Mac-ish"
(but then again, we talk about things like GNOME and KDE...)
not to mention the general evilness of propriatary software.
Darwin, the Mac OS X kernel, is available as open source -
see <http://www.publicsource.apple.com/>. I assume that makes it
less evil ;).
