As my Windows XP returns "Appearance manager" for  lookandfeel, WinXP and Mac 
will display the buttons in the same order. Although  there is some 
inconsistency, XP tends to use the alternative button  ordering.

There is also nothing sacred about 68px OSX btn width. OSX HIG  page 224...
 
"Width: Depends on button text. The standard width for OK and Cancel is 68  
pixels."
