I don't think I've heard anything like that. It is derived from the FreeBSD 3.x kernel in particular. I beleive they have incorporated many changes from 4.x as well. They (Apple) even hired Jordon Hubbard (a FreeBSD core member and founder) of the FreeBSD project to join the OSX development team. Tom Veldhouse veldy at veldy.net
