A Darwin port is very interesting to us. Greg Parker has done a lot of work on a Darwin port, I'm not sure where he's up to. I think he has been able to run small-to-medium programs. You should check the mailing list archives for details. I wonder if it's worth getting Greg's code in the repository, even if it is not complte, so that others like Dave can build on top of it.
