Port Linux GTX 1080 Driver to Mac?

I noticed that NVIDIA has a Linux driver for the GTX 1080.... Now, I'm not a software guru or anything, so forgive me if I'm wrong here, but aren't Linux and UNIX fairly similar? Isn't there a way that some wizard programmer dude could potentially port the Linux driver to Mac?
Just a thought...
