Pretty much ... but only if you use the runtime option for MacOS-X 
compatibility (otherwise default output format for property lists is the 
OpenStep format).  GNUstep reads both formats.

You could use NSKeyedArchiver and NSKeyedUnarchiver instead ... the data 
formats used by those are supposed to be 100% MacOS-X compatible, and any 
incompatibility found will be treated as a bug and fixed.
