I just wanted to let people know, I've tried using named pipes under
3.0 and they work!  Yet another reason to upgrade from 2.X.  So, if
memory serves, here's the status of named pipes under the NeXT version
of Mach:

1.0 and earlier -- it works
2.0, 2.1, 2.2 -- causes system panic if you try to use them
3.0 -- it works

Seems that you are very right. One cannot use the "/etc/mknod" to create the
FIFO, but the "mknod(2)" works (e.g. mknod(fileName,010644,0)).
Bad that the documentation does not say a word about this fix.
