Yes, a possible use of it would be to simply replace the XNU kernel with
a FreeBSD kernel (or to have a Darwin / MacOS userland running in
parallel of your FreeBSD apps). But unfortunately, like Andrew Reily has
said, you need a lot more than just loading Mach-O binary files (IOKit,
Mach messaging, ...).

Without knowing too much about Wine, I'd say it is probably the about
the same difficulty. And we all know how that wine wasn't developed
within a few weeks... :-(
