Even if OpenSolaris splits into countless "splinters", you'll always have THE Solaris and SolarisExpress which will be consistent.
As for BSDs, they haven't fragmented that much because the BSD community is proportionally very small to other groups. My suspicion is that they have a good sense of unity, too. Unfortunately, the BSD style of things, lack of wide HW driver support have kept a really solid operating system from gaining critical momentum; it's simply too exotic (OS X comes to mind!), plus SVR4 (from which BSD also stems) has been adopted as THE standard for UNIX almost 20 years ago.
