Reasonably derived from FreeBSD I suppose. It's obvious to most that they made their own components on top of the work already done on FreeBSD, in some versions they've done updates to Darwin to match more current FreeBSD versions (guessing core components / kernel), not sure if they bother anymore as much though.

There is a "base" of MACH/NextStep that is partially based on "original" BSD and then there are some parts added later coming from both FreeBSD and NetBSD.
