Actually,
that OsX can run on x86 isn't very weird, would have been weird if it
didn't though,
as it's BSD based (can't remember if it's Net-, Free- or OpenBSD it's
based on)...
Of course programs that use Assembly language for the IBM based chips
won't work on an x86, but everything else should just require a
recompile...
Another funny thing about new macs is, after the Os has booted you
can't use NFS (file system on linux and BSD and some unix os'es use
it.), but during boot it recognizes NFS partitions perfectly, as the
kernel supports it... ;)
