Last week it was BSD week: OpenBSD 4.5, NetBSD 5.0, and DragonFlyBSD 2.2.1. FreeBSD 7.2 completes the picture, with every major BSD now having a new and fresh release waiting to be installed on your desktop, laptop, or server.

The ports system most certainly isn't part of the base OS, its a framework to install (mostly 3rd party) software from source more easily; I don't think any FreeBSD developer would agree that ports are part of the base OS, they're not even tied with any particular release of the OS.
