I'd imagine there's a lot in a driver that wouldn't really need porting from OS to OS. Sure, the end that talks to the kernel maybe, but the other end, everything that talks to the hardware, I'd imagine that would be the same. So all you really should need would be a compatible bridge interface to the kernel.
