Technically it's possible it's just a lot of tinkering probably.
I remember an attempt a while back to make a tool to run MacOS apps on Linux but it's very limited and only supports simple GUI apps (and that's experimental), I'm not sure if they've made any further progress on it but currently it seems like it has pretty limited support, significantly more limited than Wine.
Also it would be impossible to use it on newer MacOS apps since those are written for M1 and thus can't run natively on x86 CPUs due to being written for Arm (might be able to run on Arm CPUs though).
