what is "base system"

> all the ports aren't?

port system (script and Makefiles) are part of FreeBSD, but there is group 
dedicated to it: freebsd-ports

port system allows to compile and install various unix tools on FreeBSD.

but this tools are completely third party thing.

> so dhcpd is not part of FBSD either?

yes. it's name even states it clearly: isc-dhcpd :)

yes - it's included in FreeBSD base system.

no. it's not linux.

what you can build through "make buildworld" is FreeBSD.
