I fully agree that kqueue is awesome, but what specifically is broken on OSX? I've used in extensively on that platform, and haven't run into any showstoppers.
Yeah, the lack of support for TTYs can be annoying when writing a terminal application (a workaround for some cases is to use pipes), but it hardly qualifies as a significant problem for writing network applications.
Here's a more interesting bug in OSX: kqueue will sometimes return the wrong number for the listen backlog for a socket under high load.
