X11 is freely distribuable so there is no reason not to rely on them.
Even if some platforms use other formats (XML-like OSX' .keylayout, or
"ultra-portable" and "readable" windows' .dll) there shouldn't be any
problem installing XKB layouts as optional GRUB2 prerequisite.
On another note we support windows and OSX as long as they don't force
us taking bad decisions or slow thedeveloppement
