Is OpenMP programming portable ?

I have an application and would like to add multithreading support. A
few things are going the pthread ways but with SUN Studio 11 i
discovered OpenMP. How far is this useable ?
I learned that MSVC 2005 has OpenMP 2.0 support, so windows and solaris
are good candidates.

I'm just after a compiler that works for MacOSX, Linux and the BSD's.
Does anybody know if the new (current alpha state) compiler from Sun
for Linux will support this (on AMD64,IX86 ?).

For the other plattforms the only way (even if you would be willing to
send a medium sized cheque to somebody) seems to be to wait for gcc to
pick up openmp. Does anybody know if this might happen in the near
future ?
