I didn't trace back in the thread to get the context for this  
question, but addressing it at face value, the answer is (probably)  
yes and no.  This is like asking whether Squeak runs on Mach, which  
has the same answer.  Yes, because OS X uses a Mach microkernel.  No,  
because OS X Squeak doesn't make any Mach calls directly; it  
interfaces with the BSD subsystem (plus other OS X APIs).

Cheers,
Josh
