As a FreeBSD developer who spends his (limited) time
almost exclusively on userland issues, I must
politely disagree:  the various BSD projects innovate
quite a bit in the userland.  Witness NetBSD's work
on RCng or OpenBSD's sponsorship of OpenSSH for two
very prominent examples.

I've always appreciated that FreeBSD is a fully
integrated userland and kernel together.  In my
mind, this is a big advantage of FreeBSD over Linux.
