Here's an Apple doc on porting Unix/Linux apps to OS X:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/PortingUnix/index.html
Does this Unix app have a graphical user interface? If so, it is probably an X11 app. These are double-clickable from Finder - they will automatically launch X11.
If it is a text-only app (runs inside Terminal) then you probably want to look at the articles that have been on the main macosxhints site about wrapping scripts/executables to make them double-clickable. One easy way is just name the executable with a ".command" extension.
