Yes: http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/platform.htm

Almost - it supports a number of desktop environments: Windows, OS X, 
and GTK. The latter should work on any Unix-ish system where you can 
build GTK and wxWidgets.

We provide binary builds (i686 and AMD64) for Linux because it's the 
dominant desktop *nix OS, and thus well tested and widely used there.

AFAIK no-one has ever posted about building wxRuby on other *nix 
systems. But on any setup that can build Ruby and WxWidgets (see link 
above) it should be possible to compile wxRuby - this includes the BSDs 
and the commercial Unices like AIX.

I'd guess it'd be easiest using gcc rather than IBM's own compiler.
