From http://www.apple.com/macosx/technologies/inside.html:
<apple>The system's kernel is based on Mach 3.0 from Carnegie-Mellon
University and FreeBSD 3.2 (derived from the University of California at
Berkeley's BSD 4.4-Lite).</apple>
I'd say OS X wouldn't technically be considered a Linux variant (but a Unix
variant), so maybe it would just need to be recompiled. I'm not well-versed
in Linux or kernel issues, so someone else can probably comment further on
this topic.
