i don't understand your question. FreeBSD can run any unix program, be
in "server program" or "desktop program" whatever "desktop" means for you.
there is nothing to be enhanced.
I beg to differ. There is far more desktop particularly multimedia
development in Linux - lots more people and much wider range of
interests. Programs that are not available for FreeBSD include
Cinelerra, projectM and (I think, but please prove me wrong) the
climateprediction.net BOINC project. If you only want applications that
are in the ports tree (and the vast majority are) chances are they are
pretty current and work well, in which case FreeBSD makes an easy to
maintain, fast, stable desktop.
It depends how much of a hacker you are. If you want out-of-the-box and
you don't mind kde then choose between pcbsd or desktopbsd. If you want
out-of-the-box and gnome I think you are out of luck. If you don't mind
diy FreeBSD is your toolbox.
There was a discussion about this in questions a while back. Look for
subject FreeBSD & Linux distro.
