L4 is used as the microkernel, not Mach.  The servers which are very 
close to the microkernel (and which mostly don't exist for mach AFAIK) 
are written from scratch.  Other parts of the system will be used 
without much change.  However, at the moment there isn't much code 
written, so the "other parts" don't work yet.

If you want to help, please do!  Get the "hurd-l4" module from the hurd 
cvs and read the docs in there as a start.  After that, you can read the 
code and try to boot it.  Then find something that interests you and 
(help) build it :-)

Thanks,
Bas
