BSDI is very close to FreeBSD.

Your guess of SunOS is also good (not Solaris).

NextStep has a BSD underlying OS, but NeXT has a lot of stuff on top, so you need someone familiar with the guts, not just the GUI (although I guess some guts could be gooey :-).

Older Digital UNIX (Ultrix) was based on BSD.  I don't know about their current product.
