Yes, it's the original C core (with OG's ActiveGS patches). The original KEGS code was surprisingly well set up to be ported to other platforms. Unfortunately releasing it as a decent application took a couple thousand lines of boilerplate java.
The source code is available at https://github.com/jamessanford/kegs/ , it should be relatively straightforward to make improvements.
