The short answer is "no".

The longer answer is that it is almost trivial to package the base
system. There are issues with upgrading though with handling config
files (1.4.0 addresses this). However, even with that, there is no work
available that you can test for a comprehensive build+install+upgrade
packaged base. There remains a lot to do this "right" and consider the
whole picture. There's the issue of splitting up base into components,
conflicting packages between base and ports, freebsd-update, Security
Advisories, etc. There's a lot more work to be done IMHO.
