They wouldn't be where they are today if portability was made a goal at the project outset. I still hope that one of the BSDs pick it up and make their own portable version because I think the systemd approach is superior to the old systems. In particular, if anyone could demonstrate a way of doing this in a »minimally invasive« manner, the systemd developers might be brought around to supporting the required changes when the code has otherwise settled down. It makes a lot of sense to produce a Linux version of systemd first and then see what, if anything, can be done about portability. On the other hand, it would mean somebody with a stake in BSD would have to do it, and that is unlikely to happen because of NIH.

It can't be done. This email mentions an incomplete list of non-portable interfaces that systemd uses. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/07/msg00281.html The only way to make systemd portable is to essentially rewrite it.

While that (may be) true of the FreeBSD/OpenBSD/etc crowd, it's obviously not the case of the Gentoo/BSD and Debian/BSD one.
