That's what I seem to remember from a year or so ago, but I can't find
Apple listed on any of the "Open Branded Products" pages at
  http://www.opengroup.org
The Unix 98 registered products are from Compaq, IBM, NCR, SUN.  There
are also Unix98 server, Unix98 workstation, and Unix95 registered
products -- the last includes HP, SGI, FSC and Caldera, but no Apple. 
See http://www.opengroup.org/regproducts/complist.htm (the
Unix93 link doesn't work).  A search on their on-site search engine 
for MacOS gives only one, irrelevant hit.
