You might consider http://www.mklinux.apple.com/

But I think I'd wait a little bit for http://www.rhapsodyos.com/
Supposedly it'll be released to the public in April. Or maybe that's the
next developer release? Rhapsody is supposed to have real BSD guts and
Mach kernel. 

http://www.macosrumors.com/ is another fun place to watch. Daily.

I'm wondering how the "journalists" of the world are going to discount
Rhapsody when it ships. Those who look to eagerly proclaim how NT is
displacing Unix. When Rhapsody ships there may be more "Unix" users
within a year running PowerMacs from Apple than Solaris, Irix, Linux,
and FreeBSD combinded.
