In all honesty. If you have to ask. You will likely find it challenging. ;) ;)
But *please* don't let that discourage you!
If you're a kernel hacker, and or have a good eye for patterns. You should
be able to find the similarities by different names to match them up.
But that doesn't mean that in the end it'll work. I haven't personally
made any comparisons. I'm only familiar with the FreeBSD variety.

My 2¢ FWIW :)
