Sure. But there are other aspects as well.

Juniper's FreeBSD has been verified (whatever it mean in such particular
case) as installed inside such router - e.g. version, patch level,
kernel compilation options,  loaded kernel modules,  ...

In short, results of security audit of FreeBSD 9.1-R-p2 compiled without
if_re module is not applicable to FreeBSD 9.1-R-p3 compiled with if_re
module nor to FreeBSD 9.1-R-p3 compiled without if_re module
