No, OSX has no particular code written by Bacula Systems that is not in
the community version, whereas for Windows Bacula Systems has spent a
great deal of time (CHF) working on it and is willing to give out
binaries but wants to wait a bit before backporting the new source
code.  Note, the Windows binaries are now available free to community
contributors.  Hopefully that will be extended to more people in the
next couple of months.

Best regards,
Kern
