The link is the OpenStep API, which is cross-platform -- not tied to Mach/BSD. Perhaps the NeXT historical connection is why Apple went for a Mach/BSD kernel -- but they did experiment with Mach/Linux too (MkLinux) and in principle could have layered Openstep on top of any OS.

Avi Tevanian did a lot of the work on Mach at CMU, became a senior technologist at NeXT and then at Appel. He was a primary architect of NexTSTEP and of OS-X.
