Is this from a Support call?

The MVS,NT,AIX, and HPUX TSM Guides at least imply cross-platform import is
"supported":

Importing Data from Sequential Media Volumes
Before you import data to a new target server, you must:
1. Install TSM on the target server. This step includes defining disk space
for the databas and recovery log.
For information on installing TSM, see Quick Start.
2. Define server storage for the target server.

Because each server operating system handles devices differently, TSM does
not export
server storage definitions. Therefore, you must define initial server
storage for the target
server. TSM must at least be able to use a drive that is compatible with the
export
media. This task can include defining libraries, drives, device classes,
storage pools, and
volumes. See the Administrator's Guide that applies to the target server.>
