Not yet, but it should be feasable. And I think it'd be cool. :-)

Two things need doing:

1) We need to teach NetBSD how to load the file format used by MacOS X
(which is hopefully the same as Darwin). I think it's based on what NeXT
did, so maybe the next68k folks can help.

2) We need to set up an emulation environment for these programs. That
would mean a new emulation in sys/compat, and we'd need a table of what
the MacOS X system calls are.

Then we walk down the list and see if the MacOS X system call matches a
NetBSD one exactly. If so, we just map it in. Otherwise we write a glue
function to map things back and forth between what NetBSD does and MacOS X
does.

Take care,
