I hope you mean, on the X11 license? The XFree86 license has changed
in unacceptable ways a few months ago.

It more probably means that most people who use Darwin use it on PowerPC,
not x86 platforms.

Instead of porting
   Linux/x86 -> Darwin/x86 -> Darwin/PowerPC -> MacOS X/PowerPC
it might make more sense to go this route:
   Linux/x86 -> Linux/PowerPC -> Darwin/PowerPC -> MacOS X/PowerPC
or to skip the intermediate platform altogether.
