Yes, it is Intel compatible (I have the NEXTSTEP and OPENSTEP compatibility lists
here), no you done need to add anything like a kernel... it is not designed to be altered by the end user, there is no source code available for the underlying operating systems for either NEXTSTEP or OPENSTEP. These were proprietary operating systems with licensing restrictions set forth by other companies.
One of the major changes from Rhapsody to Mac OS X was the removal of any thing that would restrict making the code available to the public. While the foundations of Darwin are very similar to those of Rhapsody (and in turn OPENSTEP/NEXTSTEP), it is not the same or interchangeable.
