Yes, OS X has Unix Domain Sockets, but does not appear to have "abstract" sockets, as described in the unix man page: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/unix.7.html
In any case, it turns out I don't actually need this support on OS X, so it's moot.

Apple used to have a pretty good sample app that makes use of them - may still have, but a search just now doesn’t show it. Perhaps Quinn might have info on its current availability.
