Not exactly.

• If you haven't done this already, install Homebrew.
• Install the dict package: brew install dict.
• Install sdunpack:
  

  git clone https://github.com/baskerville/sdunpack
  cd sdunpack
  cargo install --path .

• You can now convert a StarDict dictionary with:
  

  dictzip -d file.dict.dz
  sdunpack file.dict < file.idx > file.txt
  dictfmt --utf8 --index-keep-orig --headword-separator '|' -s "ShortName" -u "URL" -t file2 < file.txt
  dictzip file2.dict

• Copy the generated files (file2.index and file2.dict.dz) to the dictionaries directory.
