The terms 'can' and 'use' are a bit vague as well.  The kexts
from osx technically can be copied over and loaded (assuming all 
dependencies are met).  The catches are: 1) review the license
agreement for OS X, 2) just because the kexts load doesn't mean
they are taken advantage of.  In the specific case of video drivers,
I am not sure if they are actually taken advantage of or not.
