I'm not sure what real progress, if any, has been made toward that goal yet. It's interesting to note that two RTOS's are already using large portions of the FreeBSD networking code on PowerPC and Apple is using some FreeBSD derived code within their OS-X project, also on PowerPC. Check out the news page at www.freebsd.org for more hints from Apple. I expect the greatest difficulties will be dealing with VM issues.
