Most of what we think of as Unix was developed as part of BSD. From a technical point of view, BSD is Unix, GNU/Linux might as well mean "Thanks to the Linux kernel, GNU's Now Unix". As for BSD, it isn't really even right to call it a Unix clone: SCO's Unix is basically a BSD clone. The development flowed from Berkeley to New Jersey more than vice versa.

Only the trademark stands in the way of just saying so. So yes, OS/X runs on a Unix base.
