"A packaged distro"? I'm not sure what you mean by that. FreeBSD comes in the form of an ISO, or you can install via FTP, or via a LAN, or many other options. Software used on FreeBSD comes in the form of pre-compiled binaries (called packages), or ports which is a skeleton tree for building ported source code. I'm not sure what you mean.
