Yes. Darwin refers to the open source BSD layers, and Mac OS X refers
to the whole thing including the new Aqua UI on top and the Classic
compatibility environment for running previous Mac OS apps.
Mac OS X is currently available from Apple (for $30) as a Public
Beta. There is also a Mac OS X Server product which has been a
shipping product for some time now, which is based on an earlier
version of much of the same technology.
A lot of this stuff is built on the old NextStep stuff.
Personally, I'm hoping this will live up to the goal of a nice Mac UI
on top of a real, honest-to-goodness Unix.
