My Darwin/x86 machine that runs GNUstep would beg to differ.  (it also 
used to have KDE btw)  It was built from CVS around Jan 22ish.  I would 
test to see if current CVS builds, but there was a fire at my place and 
I am currently living in a hotel and the machine is in storage. But it 
*should* build!  Just mind the README.Darwin.

The original poster mentioned DarwinPorts, so I will note that there is 
also a DarwinPort for WindowMaker that works fine on Darwin/x86

As far as a GNUstep DarwinPort, last I checked there was one for Mac OS 
X (not Darwin ppc, but OS X) and it was only for gnustep-make
