Maybe.  Obviously, habing your own linker makes a big difference, but
what is not obvious to me (due to my ignorance of Mach) is that the
operating system interfaces will be compatible, even if the
"high-level" system calls (fork, dup, sbrk, etc.) I'll have to check
the developer documentation when I get a chance and see what I can
learn. My guess, though, is that if your run BSD over Mach, the fact
that schuduling (say) is handled by the microkernel would not be
visible at the VM level, and if thazt's the case Bhaskar may well be
right here. (I'm certainly no expert.)

I'm sure you're right. The thread forked but there's been no exec (new
subject line) as yet. :-)
