Erm, both?  You can (or at least could, some time in the past; I haven't 
tried it recently) build an xnu-for-i386 from the Darwin/ppc sources. 
What you can't do is build one that's compatible with the xnu in Mac OS 
X/i386.  By extension you can't run Mac OS X binaries on an i386 xnu 
built from the publicly-available sources.  AIUI.
