It's not easily possible. systemd-tmpfiles links against the internal libshared which basically means building half of systemd. This is unlikely to succeed on non-linux. Last time I tried it, I've given up on it without success. A systemd-tmpfiles compatible implementation outside of the systemd sources looks to me like a more maintainable solution. And once we have that, splitting out systemd-tmpfiles only on Linux doesn't make sense anymore, I guess. I agree though, and I think the rest of the team as well, that having the systemd-tmpfiles mechanism on non-systemd would be worthwile.
