Here are the responses I got:

The xtree company is working on a port to SCO XENIX and UNIX.
It works, I've seen it; they demo'd it at COMDEX.  Call 'em
and ask.  (I dont have the number handy, but if you cant
find it, let me know at dionj at sco.com)
[I called XTREE company.  They said that they did not demo such a product at
COMDEX, but that someone had presented THEM with a demo of an XTREE-like
product for UNIX.  They say they are currently investigating the feasibility
(or something like that).  Bottom line was: Nope, no UNIX product coming from
them anytime soon.]

The best thing I know about is from Visix Software in Arlington, VA.
They have a relatively old visual directory editor product, and a really
incredibly great X-based product called looking glass.

I have a package (freeware) called vtree (visual tree) that gives
you a visual printout of your file structure. ex:

/
|
+-/bin
| 

Like so...  I am in the process of writing an xtree look-a-like
using vtree as a basis of input...  I have had too much work lately to work
on my uniXTREE program but one of these days....


Anyway if you want I can send ye the vtree and if you hear of any xtree 
look a likes for *X, let me know...
[I have seen vtree before.  It is good for what it does.]

Robert:
   A utility called HDSCAN is available as shareware.  A frind of mine
brought me a copy to evaluate, but I still haven't gotten a round to it.
Here is some stuff from the hdscan.c file:

/* HDSCAN copyright 1987 by Todd Burkey. This is not a Public Domain Package.
   It is distributed under the shareware policy in order to allow as many
   people as possible to use it, but if you use it and like it, the author
   (me) would appreciate a donation of $20 to help further development
   (and to help convince my wife that my adding a unix box to the mac/st/pc
   clutter in our house was for more important things than reading news :-) ).

WHY SHAREWARE?
   This method of distribution is in lieu of my decision not to market the UNIX
   version of hdscan as a product (I hate marketting). Shareware is a useful
   approach, since I want the most people to get access to hdscan while still
   allowing me to maintain control (and rights) over the code. Shareware works
   on PC's, but time will tell if it can be extended to the Unix Market. It's a
   whole lot more fun than buying a product and deciding you don't like it.
   Have fun.
   Oh yes...

WHAT IS HDSCAN?
  A directory tree browser, file peruser, backup tool, and more. READ THE
  DOCS! This program will seem very confusing if you have never used tools
  like XTREE, 1DIR, etc on PC's.
