It's highly unlikely it would include MacOS X, since MacOS X has little to do with the actual FreeBSD project. Mac OS X does NOT have a FreeBSD kernel anyways. It's based on the Mach kernel and includes alot of the userland from both FreeBSD and NetBSD. Get your facts straight before you post.
I do wish they had started with OBSD, tho. They prolly chose FBSD because of personal loyalties to someone(s) on the FBSD project - or because of the opposite on the OBSD project.:P
This kinda attitude seems prevalent across among the posts to this article and I find it somewhat annoying. I have no issues to the OpenBSD project, I support what they do, but they aren't the only OS attempting to be "secure by default". FreeBSD is taking measures towards that also, by incorporating ssh and ssl libraries in the base distribution and is also working towards a code audit similar to what OpenBSD does.
Whoever submitted and posted this story... Did you not read the website at all??? This isn't really some new *BSD. TrustedBSD is only a set of extensions implementing ACL's and a couple other security extensions to FreeBSD and is met to eventually be merged back into the FreeBSD cvs tree. It's only been setup to allow people to test this code before they put it into the tree.

Did you recompile kernel and enable soft-updates?
This can greatly improve filesystem speed on the *BSD's.
