Maybe I am just not understanding this but if both MkLinux and OS X run on 
top of the Mach microkernel, could they both be running simultaneously? If 

In principle, yes,  Mach is capable of running multiple server operating 
systems at the same time.  I have no idea what's involved in making this
happen, but supposedly one of the advantges of a microkernel-based Linux

this was explained to the mklinux list quite some time back.  i believe this
will not work because mklinux and osx use different versions of the mach kernel.

from what i remember, mklinux uses a more recent kernel than the official apple
stuff.  the interfaces are different enough so that the two worlds are
incompatible.
