The LinuxSTEP and the Simply GNUstep/Prometheus projects are working on Linux-based distros similar in some respects to what you propose.
LinuxSTEP, for instance, has reworked the filesystem layout a fair bit, towards a more NeXT/OS X-ish layout. The Simply GNUstep project was working on an alternate, light-weight windowing system, NuVu. Both use Objective-C, as the GNUstep framework is an integeral component of each.
While they might not offer a very usable system at the current time, they might be more viable options in the future, and perhaps might be worth following or contributing to.
