I absolutely believe that druntime should be used by D2 compilers. The only issue is staying in sync with the main druntime repository. Perhaps a different VCS would make this easier though. Maybe git? Functionally, all you'd need to do is replace src/object_.d and src/rt/* with your own code, assuming that you didn't want to use the DMD stuff as-is.
