Not sure how true this is, but the guy who posted this on slashdot in
response to the x86 release of Darwin seemed to know what he was talking
about.

"Darwin, the FreeBSD-based core of Mac OS X"

"The core is NOT based on FreeBSD. The userland is a port of the FreeBSD
userland, yes. It would not be based on Linux, if the default userland
were GNU-utils.
The core of Darwin/MacOS 10 is a Darwin (or NeXT Step) -based
kernel/"core" running on Mach-nanokernel.. more alike GNU/HURD than
FreeBSD (or Linux)."
