no, but FreeBSD was based on 4.4BSD starting around 1994 or so.  Thats 10 
years of development since then, thus a lot of changes.

I assume you're referring to page 21 of McKusik et al's Design and 
implementation of the 4.4BSD operating system.
Yes FreeBSD provides those basic services also
(processes, a filesystem, communications, and system startup for those not in 
posession of the book)

best start is reading the documentation at www.freebsd.org
especially including the handbook at www.freebsd.org/handbook, the developers 
handbook at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html

another good thing would be to install FreeBSD and study the source

Also Kirk has intensive classes on FreeBSD if you have the cash:
