I can't say it for sure, but I seriously doubt it. because of two reasons. First, without forks, you wouldn't be able to execute any pre-OSX software: code is allways stored in the resource fork. Second, OSX, as most Unix-based OSes released in the last few years, is able to manage *multiple* forks per file (not only two!). What is true is that OSX native applications don't use forks anymore, but a new concept called a "bundle": when you see an application icon, it isn't really a single file as it seems; it's really a disguissed folder with a lot of single-forked files inside it (application code, libraries, icons and other resources, file templates, etc.).
