It's not really so much the Unix dependencies as it is that XML::Parser as it now stands is basically a Perl front end to James Clark's expat parser, and AFAIK noone has yet ported expat to the Mac. There has been some discussion on the Perl-XML list lately about someone taking a stab at a "pure Perl" implementation of a parser.
