I base this solely on my own experience when I approached O'Reilly & Associates about a FreeBSD book. They did recognize it, but, they outright said no and that Linux was the only way to go. A better alternative might be to write a comparison article for their upcoming Linux issue; or just to submit FreeBSD-specific articles for future issues. If they do an issue of security, do an article on FreeBSD's packet filtering and firewalling.
