The reason being is the hardware is optimized for the version of OS X. There are rare exceptions to this rule however the iMac Retina would not be one of those exceptions." here is a good link http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201686 Not sayin it cant be done, but im not sure either!

It is very unlikely to be drivers for the vid cards at 5k in Mavericks.
