The source code to OS X is not publically available (nor will it ever be, since it contains lots of proprietary code as well as code which Apple considers to be critical to their business model to be kept proprietary -- the Aqua GUI, etc). Darwin is the OS X kernel and UNIX layer which runs beneath OS X -- this is the "Open Source" one, and it has been ported to Intel. You'll have better luck asking on a Darwin mailing list since it's a fairly different beast to FreeBSD, though based on much of the FreeBSD code.
