The file command doesn't know about AppleSingle and AppleDouble files,
which are an exchange file format and thus likely to show up on Unix.
These always contain binary data, although they may also have a text
data fork.  Here are two lines to add to the appropriate magic subfile:

0       long    0x00051600              AppleSingle encoded Macintosh file
0       long    0x00051607              AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file

Also, I notice the header in share/magic says to edit the source files
in a non-existent directory, which should be updated to src/file-3.22/Magdir.
