I don't think you ever got an answer to this, and to be honest, I'm not 
sure myself. But I know that for CGI work, we can't use the native unix 
engines on OS X, we need to use a special "Darwin" build. If that's a 
universal requirement, then I'd say you couldn't use BSD standalones 
either and you'll need to find a native machine for testing.
