For packages: ls /var/db/pkg/ will show you what's installed.

For the base system, you'll have to look at /etc/make.conf and the
kernel configuration file. The kernel configuration (default is
/usr/src/sys/ARCH/conf/GENERIC, where ARCH is i386, amd64, alpha etc)
file determines what's being built into the kernel.
 
By setting variables in make.conf, you can determine what's going to be
built in the next buildworld. For instance, if you set NO_BLUETOOTH=true
in make.conf, programs and modules relating to bluetooth will not be built.
See 'man make.conf' for a list of settings.
