That is only partially true. Sumatra PDF rendering libraries are ported to Unix!
mupdf is absolutely the most minimalistic PDF viewer written in pure C which uses the Sumatra PDF rendering libraries. Most OpenBSD people I know of use mupdf, myself included.

Code:
$ uname -a
OpenBSD oko.bagdala2.net 4.8 GENERIC.MP#361 i386
$ pkg_info mupdf
Information for inst:mupdf-0.6p0
Comment:
graphic library, pdf parser, viewer and utilities

Description:
MuPDF is a lightweight PDF viewer and toolkit written in portable C.
Most FreeBSD people I know of use MAC Consequently mupdf port on FreeBSD has been broken for ages. Looks like TeXLive joke all over again. Good thing Hiroki Sato is the Core Team member so he will fix mupdf as soon as he finishes TeXLive port on which he is working since 2001
