Hmm.  On my MacOS X box I just typed
    man dlopen
and I get
    DLOPEN(3) BSD Library Functions Manual
    NAME dlopen, dlsym, dlerror, dlclose -
    programmatic interface to the dynamic linker
    ...
    All these functions use the native dyld(3), NSModule(3), and
    NSObjectFileImage(3) functions to provide a compatibility library
    so that common unix source code may be easily compiled.
    ...
    The dlcompat package was written by
    Jorge Acereda <jacereda at users.sourceforge.net> and
    Peter O'Gorman <ogorman at users.sourceforge.net>

I haven't tried this yet myself, but it sure _looks_ supported.
I mean, this package is there out-of-the-box.  (Darwin kernel 7.3.0)
