Could you build this?
No Porting the Apple XNU kernel and building a board support package for legacy HTC HD2 hardware requires deep low-level OS kernel and embedded systems expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires deep C/assembly knowledge, reverse-engineered device registers, device tree modification, bootloader integration (lk/fastboot), and custom driver authoring for the Qualcomm QSD8250 SoC (interrupts, timers, UART, display). Vibe coding cannot produce functioning hardware-level kernel ports.
