BTW, are the sources found in xnu the same as those provided in a

No.
I mean, if I build mach_kernel will it work if I replace the
mach_kernel that is provided as part of Mac OS X?
Yes.
There are very minor differences between the sources that Apple uses
to build production Mac OS X kernels and the Darwin sources. The
differences are sufficiently minor that X boots just fine using a
Darwin-built kernel. In fact, I do this regularly when debugging
(while I have access to Apple's sources, it's better if I can get
away with using only public resources when helping third party
developers).
