Yes, it is a FreeBSD desktop:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/explaining-bsd/comparing-bsd-and-linux.html
"Mac OS® X is the latest version of the operating system for Apple
Computer Inc.'s Macintosh® line. The BSD core of this operating system,
Darwin, is available as a fully functional open source operating system
for x86 and PPC computers. The Aqua/Quartz graphics system and many
other proprietary aspects of Mac OS® X remain closed-source, however.
Several Darwin developers are also FreeBSD committers, and vice-versa."
It's not a free desktop, but it's still a FreeBSD desktop.
