Also it would be easy to use many of the rules D20 Apocalypse in Darwin's word.

I can't say about the Second edition, but what I saw in First Edition would not in any way be 'fixed' by switching to d20 Modern (which I really don't care for)...
Are the Mutation rules in the new game any better than those in First edition? I remember them as being greatly inferior to those in 'Omega World'!
Also, is the stated reason for the 'Apocalypse' any more rational and coherent, than in first? I remember that as being especially bogus and unbelieveable...
Finally, my reading of First edition Darwin's World left me with the idea that the Society depicted could not possibly have survived as long as it was supposed to have, much less continue beyond that point...
Admittedly, this is a great weakness of MOST Post-Apocalypse settings (RIFTS, especially), but Darwin's World seemed to add nothing to the genre that wasn't already there...
If you like it, of course, that's fine, but I'd want to see major improvements in those three areas before I would reccommend even raiding it for ideas, much less trying to use it straight!
