Yes. The latest release is certainly available as a torrent, and
documented as such in the release announcement:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/announce.html
Release via torrent is still considered experimental, which is
probably why it isn't mentioned more prominently on the web site.
See:

5.3-RELEASE is also available as a torrent.
Cheers,
Matthew
