No...Mac OSX is based on Darwin. Darwin is based on NeXTSTEP, which is
proprietary, closed sourced  and based on **BSD** not FreeBSD. First
version of NeXTSTEP was released in 1989, the FreeBSD project started
in 1993...it's quite hard to base a project on components which
doesn't exist yet.

But it did go into GNU Hurd which is also based on BSD...using the
same logic, can we now PLEASE all agree that Mac OS X is running GNU
Hurd?

...Mac OSX != FreeBSD != GNU Hurd

As JYA said: No Apple product ever ran on FreeBSD.
