Wouldn't it be easier to write a little shell script called
"popup-reminder" or something and have that call the appropriate
program on each system?  The Linux "popup-reminder" would call the Linux
program and the Mac OS one would call the Mac OS program.

Then in your Reminders file, you just use:

REM ... RUN /usr/local/bin/popup-reminder ...
