AFAIK no one is working on it. user emulation is strictly linux-only for the
time being. (1)

Getting this to work isn't very hard at all, you'd just have to change the
syscall code to be what Darwin uses.

(1) I believe there is an m68k target being worked on, which is not strictly
linux only. I haven't looked at it very closely and am not sure of the details.
But this doesn't really help you anyways.
