That way you can gentoo with different kernels. i've a couple friends with ibooks that love gnu/linux but would perfer to be running apple written device drivers on an apple kernel - darwin is that. so a friend of mine is currently working on the bootstrapping process. as we go forward with this effort there will be ebuilds for the darwin kernel (offical and stable ebuilds will be based on whatever cvs versions that apple hand picks for OS X releases. So, expect to see kernel updates based on apple releases) we'll also offer cvs ebuilds [again, see the developer policies about ebuild and cvs stuff] and then we'll start working the entire 3 versions of X for OS X/Darwin.
