Odd.... Apple hired Jordan Hubbard (lead developer for FreeBSD) to head up
OSX development, and I was quite sure I saw an article where Jordan stated
the kernel and underlying OS was in fact FreeBSD. I'll check into this...

Hummmm last I
heard... Apple's OSX was built on top of FreeBSD, not
NEXTSTEP.
It's NEXTStep. The userland, however, is BSD. (From the console of a dual
1.25GHz Power Mac G4 running OS X.2.6.)
