Basically, yes.

The big issue is that Mac OS X Server actually has a thread-safe  
application kit, which is really important for Java support (since it  
wants to be able to do stuff with the application kit--drawing,  
etc.--from multiple threads).

Making the AppKit thread-safe was a pretty large undertaking for  
Apple.  It would be a much larger undertaking for us, without AppKit  
source code.
