I just found a download to this, MacX, can it be used to run select UNIX software on a mac if everything is compiled?

MacX performs as a display terminal. The heavy lifting is performed on the remote (mainly Unix) device, with the graphical output displayed in MacX. Research "X11".

Speaking of aux, porter, would u consider a port of browser6 to aux a trivial thing?

It would run in the Macintosh environment of A/UX with no change.
Rewriting as an UNIX/X11 application would be a completely different kettle of fish, do-able, but whether it's worth it is another matter.
