No particular effort has gone into making the Hurd RH aware, and RT Mach is nearly a dead-end, in that nobody is particularly working on it any more. It is free software (it's just a set of mods to standard Mach), and you could find it somewhere on the net, though I'm not sure where. However, none of the Hurd servers make any kind of RT guarantees, so a RT program would not be able to use them in any critical sections.
