Nope, only osax which have been developed for OS X will work in OS X.
You can use MacOS8/9 osaxen in Classic though, yes? I'm sure folk have
mentioned in the past that you can run a script server in Classic that'll
let you access non-OS X osaxen. e.g. Something like:
--"tanaka server" (save as stay-open applet in classic)
on MTEncodeURL(theURL)
MT Encode URL theURL
end MTEncodeURL
on MTParseCGI(theString, fieldName)
MT Parse CGI theString field name fieldName convert to MacRoman
end MTParseCGI
-----------
tell application "tanaka server" to MTEncodeURL(someURL)
Probably going to be fairly slow, however, plus you'll have to compromise
over optional parameters in the osaxen calls somehow (various ways you can
do this; none are ideal).

Curse Apple's obsessive Secrecy about Everything - now I gotta bounce up
and down in frustration for a whole month till I find out what the heck
this all means.:p (Will it introduce unique namespaces? Will it handle
AS-based modules, as well as ones written in compiled C and friends? What
other cool grooviness will it introduce?)
Cheers,
