I have got some 5-6 posts from darwin-development mailing list explaining this Darwin/Mac OS X versioning scheme. If anyone needs it I can send it off-list. Or you can go and check out the archives of that list on lists.apple.com(dated Feb 22, Subject : Darwin version number) for the same.
For now, the recommended solution is you download the Xinstall.sh or Xinstall.bin file. (Note if you are downloading the Xinstall.bin file rename it as Xinstall.sh). and run the following command from ur prompt prompt> sh Xinstall.sh -check This will report the correct version of the binaries you need to install. This is the sure-shot method, and at least it has worked for me. It is well documented in the Installation Instructions as well. Someone else can point the url, I can't remember it offhand now. However it is not too difficult to find. I recommend that you read and follow those instructions exactly for the installation process. Hope this helps..Do let us know if this works for u or not . All the best.
