If there was a portable implementation of namespaces that was implemented by both Linux and BSDs, then sure systemd could be made more portable. Otherwise the only reason OpenRC is more portable is that it does not isolate services in the first place (as systemd does using namespaces).

It works perfectly well with namespaces but you have to tell it to use them (it uses them for runlevels out of the box, but you need to tell the launch script if you want a process to be isolated). Though for that matter SysV does too.
