Actually FreeBSD and NetBSD have in their port tree "getopt", which is
this one: http://software.frodo.looijaard.name/getopt/
as you can see, is the same getopt in util-linux;
in OpenBSD's tree is called gnugetopt, but it's still the same software.
In Mac OS X it can be installed with macports, and it's called "getopt".
