No

No OS drivers, no kernel source to recompile

iOS is a different operating system than OSX, so the kernels are fundamentally different. For one, all modern OSX kernels are 64-bit. You would not have much success, even if you somehow managed to get an OSX kernel to boot on your iOS device

Doesn't iOS use hybrid XNU kernel? Why is it hybrid?
