Hello!
Actually Chris, I found a complete collection of both CMU Mach and the
Flux Group Mach, and even MkMach at the FTP2 site for the French
OpenBSD location, ftp://ftp2.fr.openbsd.org under the pub and the mach
directories.

In all actuality I first discovered the Mach code base and the binary
at the Flux Group offices of the Utah Computer Sciences site. They
shut that down around the turn of the century. And once at the Arizona
site for their computer sciences site. I believe it is gone as is the
CMU one.

And Jason I found your Gunkies Wiki with a link to your incredible
storage site.
