It's available in MacPorts[1]. 

I don't know if that's legal or not, but they could probably get around it 
since the Unix core in Mac OS X is open source. It's the graphical shell on top 
of that that is proprietary. I would say that it's roughly similar to running a 
proprietary X server on a commercial Linux distribution, which I assume you can 
still run OpenMotif on. But that's just speculation.
