Well for Solaris 8 and previous, that was true - it all changed in Solaris 9 when they adopted a model somewhat similar to that of Linux.

On OS X threads are not bound to specific CPUs. I don't recall ever hearing about a system that does that (binding processes to CPUs yes, but not individual threads within a process). OS X does not bind processes to specific CPUs, either.
