Message Passing is implemented in GNU Mach, not in the Hurd.
Usually, there is a lot of communication between hurd servers, between Hurd
servers and glibc, between glibc and gnu mach, between hurd servers and gnu
mach. User space programs usually only use glibc, optionally access the
hurd servers (like system tools), and rarely gnumach, but they are allowed
to.
See also the diagram on the fourth page of my article in a german magazine:
http://www.cul.de/data/freex22000pr.pdf
It goes like this (my diagram in the paper also has oskit):
---Userspace---
