In a word - no. FreeBSD has been around a lot longer than Apple's switch to Darwin. FreeBSD has a long history of preferring BSD licensed code to GPL licensed code. Apple has just financed clang/llvm. Apple has their reasons for using clang, and FreeBSD has theirs. FreeBSD didn't need any pressure from Apple to make the switch.
