The OS X kernel is "Darwin", itself based on the Mach microkernel.
Supposedly there is a good deal of higher-level BSD code in there, and
it wouldn't surprise me much to find out that FreeBSD was the source.
But it is nevertheless incorrect to say that OS X is FreeBSD.

Apple *did* hire Jordan Hubbard, one of the FreeBSD founders and core
team members.
