If you read the README in the github master, you will notice that 
it isn't just porting the kernel, it is also porting glibc to D, 
as well as all the userland applications to D.  Essentially 
making an entire D OS as you say, but using already established 
designs/technology as a base point.  Linux is effective, 
powerful, widely used, and there are already thousands of 
programmers that program for Linux, so creating an entire OS in D 
based on Linux would encourage (hopefully) a lot of Linux 
programmers to also write for a D Linux.  Since its largely 
familiar, the learning process would be relatively painless.
