You need the Sybase openclient software/libraries installed on the new  
server for this to work.

I think that Sybase has produced a version of OpenClient for MacOSX/ 
Intel, though I suspect that this requires 10.5 (leopard) - and it's  
most likely not free.

I suppose that you may be able to get this to run under the  
compatibility mode, but I somehow doubt that this will really be a  
good solution.
