Tiger now offers a stable VFS interface. However it is now very, very
different from any *BSD out there, so porting will be a more arduous
task.
The Darwin 8 source is now available and you should be able to find
the msdos and webdav VFS plug-ins up there. They should get you
started. I believe there is some documentation on the kernel
interfaces available in the xnu dir too.
Now that Tiger is shipping I would not spend the time trying to
support Panther and Jaguar's un-supported VFS interface.
