I would expect that for more obscure Unices it would be difficult to get SAS, 
but basically, yes.

Does R run on natively (no emulation)?
We have quite a few users on these systems

VAX-VMS
Z-OS (mainframe)
MVS
VM/CMS(IBM)

I don't know that anyone has tried. The basic requirements for R are ANSI C89 
and some of the more common parts of C99, Fortran 77, the standard IEEE 
floating point formats, and quite a lot of POSIX.

For IBM's z/OS at least, I would have thought Linux virtualization would be the 
most straightforward approach to using R.
