You might find the following articles interesting:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/article.html#RELEASE-BUILD
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng-packages/article.html

The contents of a specific release-subdirectory in one of the mirrors
will help you find out what is contained in a full FreeBSD release, see
for instance this FTP directory:
