1) Mac is UNIX, not Linux.
2) VMWare does not make a UNIX version, they do however make a Linux version.
3) If you'd like to run VMWare on UNIX, VMWare on Mac OS X is the closest you will be getting for the time being.
8 Core 2.8 ghz Mac Pro/GF8800/2 23" Cinema Displays, 3.06 ghz Macbook Pro
Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

A visit to their website will give you the answer you need. There are several other virtualization/emulation options for Unix/Linux too.

What is it you want to do with it?
Do you need to emulate x86 hardware or are virtual machines sufficient?

Just a little question: are you familiar with the unices you are talking about (you specifically wrote Sun, HP, IBM)?

The names of the unix OS are
Sun: Solaris/OpenSolaris (probably you can see the connection now)
HP: Tru64 (for AlphaStations), HP-UX (for PA-RISC-based systems)
IBM: AIX

No offense, but it seems like you should first find out what systems you are dealing with and then familiarize yourself with the OS.
