Uh, no. Check #15 and #16 in "The 30 Biggest Myths about systemd".[0] It's highly unlikely that systemd will ever run on *BSD - even on Debian/BSD with a GNU userland - and those are a lot closer to Linux than than Hurd is. Systemd is Linux-only. I'm tempted to say it's GNU/Linux-only, but I'm not sure if Google's working on getting it to run on Android/Linux.
EDIT - even if the BSDs have started working on their own equivalent, that doesn't help the Debian/Hurd porters who need a working init system _now_. Or, more accurately, a couple of years ago when they really started to get the distro together.
The BSDs aren't working on any alternative, as far as I know. OpenBSD is working on creating OS-agnostic replacements for some of the common systemd interfaces (logind, hostnamed, etc.) for use in porting applications that need them, e.g. GNOME.
