Reaper plugins are a vst-like format and proprietary to Reaper.

You could run Reaper along side another DAW and use a virtual device app like Soundflower to route audio between Reaper and whatever.

If you have some Windows only vst or dll format plugins, then you need to install and run the Windows version of Reaper in Wine so you can install those Windows plugins. Again, use Soundflower or the like to route audio around.

I thought there was a thread a while back around here where someone made a "wrapper" to run Windows vst and dll plugins in OSX Reaper. If I read that right then it might be easier than the above.
