Have you had a look at /usr/ports? ;)
As of a few days ago (when I last updated ports): 21430
I know, strictly speaking "ports" isn't "packages" since things are
compiled locally (but you can output the result into packages if you
need to install on several systems).

Where did you get that info? Of course, ZFS is a little older:
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
pollux version 14 default
But for other packages FreeBSD is atleast as cutting edge as (Open)Solaris.

Finally something we agree on. ;)
FreeBSD also has a less restrictive license.
