Just in case nobody has mentioned it: a small and elegant UNIX kernel to 
use as a source of inspiration is Minix 3 (http://www.minix3.org/).

I've seen Tanenbaum talking about it, and Minix 3 is a fresh new 
approach to OS design featuring high modularity: the kernel itself 
boasts only 4000 lines of code. It would be interesting to see how that 
translates in D.
