I don't know the answer to that yet.  The first I heard of it was the
announcement.  Just based on the announcement Oracle is going to pull in
changes from Apple, so it's not clear to me how the current MacOS X port
within the BSD port fits in there, if at all.  That would be disappointing
if it doesn't result in broader BSD support, but that is unclear at the
moment.
