JBoss is an EJB container and (usually) comes packaged with either Jetty or Tomcat for the web container. With either one, it fills out the whole stack of J2EE components. Sort of like Tomcat is not a J2EE server since it's a web container missing an EJB container. The JBoss/Jetty and JBoss/Tomcat distributions are full J2EE servers.
The big thing is that it's not yet J2EE-certified by Sun (there's an explanation on their FAQ. Mainly it costs a lot to be a J2EE licensee to get officially certified. And Sun has some... issues .. with JBoss. Sort of like when they had issues with Tomcat/Jakarta/Apache a while back).
