Polyphony: Fine-Grained Concurrency for Ruby
does it use anything specific on darwin and/or freebsd or does it fall back to libev?

On non-Linux systems it just uses libev to for I/O readiness and for timers, and uses normal syscalls for the actual I/O.

No. libev provides a nice abstraction over different operating systems, and has good performance. I don't think coding a whole new backend against kqueue is worth the effort.
