Just my 2 cents here, but I think you're thinking on the wrong level. The Hurd, gnumach, and a lot of this end of the gnu system are young codebases; it doesn't provide what's needed because it's still in the early stages of development. Of course, the Hurd has a lot of Mach specific stuff in it because it's developmental code being developed on and for Mach. Once it becomes an issue; when people start porting the Hurd to different microkernels and are forced to deal with the problem, the approriate solution will present itself. As far as I can see, there's not really that much that can be done now to help with that. Given this, it seems like a bit of a null issue.
