Not really, Let's take mySql, for example. If i install binary, what would 
i get? Some standard distribution? But i need it compiled with cp1251
support and i need this support to be very fast. So, i will build it from 
the sources.

I see other way, I'd rather thinks of different BSDs as specialized cases
of BSD. 4.4BSD is good for routers, OpenBSD for secure servers,
FreeBSD is good for web servers, dialup cases, other stuff.

I don;'t mean THIS kind of consensus. I doubt that you will hear from
FreeBSD user that NetBSD is a crap or 'switch to OpenBSD'.
That;s what i mean.
