To the best of my knowledge, no.  FreeBSD does not run on Apple
hardware, because that's not our emphasis, but NetBSD does.

I do recall some contact from Apple decades ago.  My memory is hazy,
but I think they were asking us not to include a port that replicated
Apple's GUI look and feel.  It seems that they were more generally
successful there, since I'm not aware of any such port any more.
