Dachstein is a distribution based on LRP and Eigerstein, etc. 
Shorewall is a firewall.

Matt's quite right; Oxygen is probably the furthest away from its LRP
base.  Some quick examples of the most dramatic changes (as defined by
current development):

* POSIXness does not exist
* Busybox is statically linked and is now at about 300k (170k
dynamically linked?) and contains 77 apps or so
* Kernel patches unique to LRP no longer needed
* Use of /etc/rc.config.d (like HP-UX) for configuration of startup
processes

Also, Oxygen uses libc.lrp - if you have the space on disk, just
replace a 2.1.3 glibc with a 2.2 glibc in a libc.lrp and go.

I'm not sure I understand how your project is supposed to work.
