Have you been able to download it? If yes then I can try and tell. Cos I made umpteen number of tries to download it but it would get corrupt in the middle.
It will run on P4 surely. There's a x86 branch.

Where did u find those two. I thought there was only one darwin and it's available for download. If you got information on the contrary please point out.
And I am not sure if it will be same as Mac OS X and as easy otherwise it would have been very popluar amongst PC users.

Open Darwin won`t look like Mac.... Mac is just based on it.. Its not a clone...

You can try FoxDesktop ,a linux distro with a Mac like feel.
