Kerighed is similar to openMosix and is actively involved in OSCAR development, there is an OSCAR package for Kerighed as well, called SSI-OSCAR.
I'll let Jean comment on it because I am not familiar with the details but according to the project web page (http://ssi-oscar.gforge.inria.fr/ and http://www.kerrighed.org/) the latest release is based on a 2.6.x kernel.
