Now what makes a SYSV system, what > makes a BSD system? Well, the Aeleen Frish's "Essential System Administration" uses the presence or absence of /etc/inittab to classify machines. It's pretty goot all in all. I think another indicator of a kernels true lineage is whether the group ownership of a file is inhereted from the containing directory without the sgid bit being set. This use of the sgid bit is for BSD compatiblity. BTY, I believe HP-UX 9.x is SRV3 derived whereas HP-UX 10.x is SRV4. HP-UX does have a bunch of BSDisms though.
