Linux is a strictly speaking a kernel, like Mac OS X is running the kernel Mach, often combined with what is called GNU OS. Mac OS X derives originally from FreeBSD. As for the standard, it is a development of BSD old traditions. So a similar origin of OSs make them putting stuff in similar places, but with some differences. As for the POSIX/UNIX standards, they have no so such requirements, so in general, there can be quite some variation.
