Symantec has little about it. Two blog entries of Jeet Morparia mention 
the possibilty of infecting Mac and Linux, but without mentioning 
details, or he (she?) has hidden them in the technical details 
(http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/trojanjnanabot-trojanaffecting-multiple-platforms 
& http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/insight-trojanjnanabot).
In its threats & risks category Symantec only classifies Windows as 
affected, and the risk as very low 
(http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2010-102616-4246-99).
