I've read a lot of stuff about initng, but I also read that apple's launchd is opensource too, what's the differences. and is it possible to port launchd to linux/gentoo?
here is a link about it, google on it for more:
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/launchd.html

Currently the FreeBSD project is working on porting launchd to FreeBSD, the problem is with the license more so then porting it. The license is the Apple Public Source license, which is GPL-incompatiable.

So are they other than porting it, making it from scratch but compatible? or?

There simply porting it over as far as I know, they are attempting to get apple to relicense it under there BSD license, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
