Yes and No.
At Unix Expo, we had technology demonstrations of DOS and AIX (OSF/1) running
separately on Mach.  No OS/2.  DOS was running a flight simulator and
AIX was running X11R5 and Motif 1.2 in monochrome vga mode.  Both were
running on IBM Intel based machines.
We will publish our decisions to use Mach at some point in time.  We looked
at work done with mach, amoeba, chorus, qnx, osf and OO r&d and selected
mach.
This years USENIX workshop in Seattle was about Microkernels et.al.  and 
contains good info. on u-kernels.
