MacOS 8.x isn't UNIX, but Mac OS X is!

I use MacOS 8.x in a mixed Solaris/IRIX/BSD/95/98/NT environment every day;
no problem. I run GANT everywhere.

Nonsense. Even my Mac 8600 is a better X server than my Pentium II. For
programming, Applescript comes in the box and MPW is free. Of course, my
favorite CLI for Ada 95 is under Tenon's excellent MachTen or CodeBuilder
products. Without question, the Mac file system is a tad slow for UNIX
style programming. That's why Tenon bundles a fast file system that
improves things dramatically.

Mac OS X should be more to your liking; will you be porting GNAT?
