I don't know anything specific about this product, but hey! Why let
that stop me? (I do know a bit about Macs, so I'll answer from that
position instead. :-)
First of all, I'm afraid that Linux support is no indication of OS X
support. Sorry! It'll be a driver thing.

Inkwell takes pen movement input (mouse-style signals) and interprets
the letter shapes that you make. It has nothing to do with anything
else, so actual text output from such a device would be more like
keyboard emulation than anything else. Howver, if it can behave as a
mouse in any way then there is a distinct possibility that it can
work with Inkwell.
