It doesn't look like it. From
http://www.nl.freebsd.org/releases/7.4R/announce.html: 
"This will be the last release from the 7-STABLE branch."

7.4 is listed as a "legacy" release of the FreeBSD homepage. The only upcoming
release listed is 9.1 somewhere this year.

My desktop and laptop beg to differ. :-) 

UNIX is a toolbox, not an appliance. So it was never meant for the "desktop
market". But that doesn't mean it cannot be used as such.
