Is it possible to run Darwin with in a docker container, I suppose not, because it's a BSD?
But since I found almost nothing about it on Google, besides http://www.infoq.com/news/2014/03/docker_0_9
I thought I just ask...

An use case would be to run Xcode command line build tools in a container, although I don't know about any licensing issues at the moment - but Darwin itself would be OSS.

Still don't know of any way to run Darwin binaries directly on a Linux kernel without something like Darwine (whose latest release according to SourceForge uploads was 2013-08-16). I'm afraid that without development effort in Docker itself or from the Darwin community, this isn't something that's likely to happen for the official images, and am thus closing. Feel free to open a new issue if there are any further developments (either in Docker or in the larger Darwin community) which make this more of a real possibility!

Maybe qemu + darwin could hack this together?
