Not that I know of*, but NetBSD could run Darwin binaries I think ?
(i.e. the other way around) I don't have any Intel Mac yet though...

All I've seen for Mac OS X are *source-level* compatibility layers.
Not like http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/linuxemu.html


BTW:
Darwin has been "universal" from the beginning, and even before that.
(OS X hasn't, offically) http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/

* there are some wild such rumors flying around for Mac OS X 10.5,
   possibly even including Windows support (like the WINE project)
