I have not used Framemaker on the Mac, but I have used it on the SUN and have
seen a demo on the Mac.  I find it very easy to use on the Sun, although I have
only worked with text till now.

Files are compatible between the two systems.  I don't have a Mac available
on a net, but I got some Framemaker/Mac files from the demo.  I then uploaded
the files via modem from my Mac at home to one of our Unix systems.  From there
a simple rcp to the Sun and the files opened right up.  Only problem was that
fonts were not available on the Sun.  The program prompted that fonts were not
available and then started up.

You have to be careful when uploading that you don't upload as MacBinary.  You
have to do a straight binary upload, but it seems to work fine.
