Description
On Mac OS X 10.9 with Xcode 5.0.2 socat builds and works fine but when used to open TUN addresses fails with error
$ socat STDIO TUN:10.0.0.1/24 2013/11/21 13:30:45 socat[45107] E unknown device/address "TUN"
socat help doesn't list tun as a valid address
$ socat -h
...
address-head:
...
tcp6-connect:<host>:<port> groups=FD,SOCKET,CHILD,RETRY,IP6,TCP
tcp6-listen:<port> groups=FD,SOCKET,LISTEN,CHILD,RETRY,RANGE,IP6,TCP
udp-connect:<host>:<port> groups=FD,SOCKET,IP4,IP6,UDP
udp-datagram:<host>:<port> groups=FD,SOCKET,RANGE,IP4,IP6,UDP
...
even in that system the tuntaposx port is installed and working (it works for n2n for example)

This port no longer has a maintainer. See #47548.

As you can see here the documentation explicitly mentions Linux when talking about TUN/TAP. My interpretation is that TUN/TAP is not supported under OS X. I also checked the configure logs, and the script explicitly looks for linux/tun.h and says:
configure: WARNING: include file linux/if_tun.h not found
The software probably needs modifications in order to use tuntaposx libraries, you'll have to check with upstream if integration is possible.
