"Components" is a wide, wide term. Since FreeBSD as an operating system 
consists of separate libraries, headers, executables, and both the 
kernel and the userland have subsystems that are more-or-less autonomic 
and independent, you could say it's componentized. You need to be more 
specific to get a more specific answer.
