Well, it used to be easier to install (not that I had ever done it), but now that the OpenDarwin project is shut down, I don't know if anyone else picked it up.

Looks like OpenDarwin has been wiped off the face of the planet. Can't even find a torrent.

Whoops! Its just Darwin 6.0.2 that you can download, not 9.0. MY MISTAKE. Sorry for the confusion.

EDIT: You can't download Darwin 9 (core of 10.5) yet but you can download a CD installer image of Darwin 8.0.1 (core of 10.4).

Darwin 8.0.1 Installer CD
The Darwin 8.0.1 Installer CD is available. Darwin 8.0.1 corresponds to the open source core of Mac OS X 10.4 and is available at the following URLs:
For PowerPC:
