Let me ask a question and provide more info.

My intent in installing one of the Darwins is to squeeze as much 
speed as possible using a barebones X11 setup to complement the more 
varied Linux. My understanding is that it is too hard to set up OS X 
such that you have an option to drop Aqua and get Darwin plus X11 
(Emacs and some related stuff). The Darwin code from Apple is current 
but barebones. The way for someone like me is to use OpenDarwin and 
their ports. Is this right?

The more info:

I hope to have two additional disks, a slave ATA formatted HFS+ and 
visible to the Mac OSs (including within MOL) and an UltraSCSI 
formatted UFS accessible to the Unixen sides.

I will report on how it goes. That's for the tips, Greg.

Best, Ted
