even debian dropped the attempt at using FreeBSD’s kernel, it is just too alien to Linux, Hurd in the other hand pretty much tries as best as it can to be compatible with Linux while keeping it blob free
I can’t speak for the Debian case since I didn’t knew about it much but afaik on the Gentoo side it was because its hard dependency on Bashisms (and Bash as a whole) so it needed many hacks and stuff to get around of those and make it work on the BSDs.
That it didn’t work because “it is just too alien to Linux” isn’t quite true because it did work, it’s just that it needed too much work to keep it going with Portage as it was (and is).
At that time systemd didn’t even exist so no, it wasn’t because of systemd.

Too alien to Linux, or too alien to SystemD?
I can’t be the only one who remembers those switches happening Very rapidly one after another for Debian.
Wasn’t Debuan a Debian without systemd?
