I think the chain is somewhat longer (for the kernel):
  *bsd* (don't remember which one - mach kernel)
  -> NeXTstep (initially only m68k, proprietary hardware)
  -> NEXTSTEP (i386, ordinary pc's + sparc + hp + m68k)
  -> OpenStep (i386/m68k - don't remember when the others got dropped)
  -> Rhapsody (sp?)
  [NeXT is bought by Apple - or was this before Rhapsody?]
  -> Darwin
