mach microkernel

[DANIEL hoggan]

I am using mach4 as my os for my project i just wanted to know, if mach uses 
a lot of bsd code to emulate unix funcionality, then would porting bsd code 
be a simple case of just dropping it in, or does it actually require some 
rewrite, i mean according to the mach4 page netbsd is capbable of just 
dropping in mach4 microkernel:

Easy-to-install Mach distribution:  In order to attract more people from the 
Linux/BSD crowd, we really need someone to put together an easy-to-install 
Mach+Lites or (when it's mature enough) Mach+Hurd binary distribution. This 
distribution might be just an add-on supplement to an existing 
monolithic-kernel distribution, or it could be an entirely separate 
distribution with a whole new set of binaries. Of course, a simple add-on to 
an existing distribution is likely to be simpler and more popular, so we 
should try to go with that approach if at all possible. (Mach+Lites on the 
i386 is already pretty close to being a drop-in NetBSD kernel replacement.)
