I can speak for myself only, but the ones that will build an Apache alpha from source, will. I would advocate keeping 'darwin' as identifier for the platform, because on the unix level it makes itself known as such: [monalisa:~] sctemme% uname -a Darwin MonaLisa 1.4 Darwin Kernel Version 1.4: Sun Sep 9 15:39:59 PDT 2001; root:xnu/xnu-201.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc Upon a release, we could put a line in the release notes or README of the dist/httpd directory that says 'For MacOSX, use the darwin distribution' and /or rely on the Mac download sites to clue users in. Downloading the darwin tarball right now.
