No, you can't. Even if you're using Mac OS X on Intel, and have a
library for x86 Linux, there's no practical way to make use of that
library without recompiling it from the source code. The object
file and library formats of Linux and mac OS X at very different.

You need to either get the source code, persuade someone who has
the source code to build you a Mac OS X version, or give up using
the library.
