Well, 'millions' would be pushingit, but, yes, it is likely there would be more spin-offs along the lines of PC-BSD or pfsense if *BSD was as popular as Linux. Note though that 'distro' doesn't translate into *BSD terms in quite the same way you'ld expect. FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonflyBSD, Darwin are all *BSDs but they aren't distros in the Linux sense -- they are complete stand-alone OSes. Things like PC-BSD and pfsense are arguably 'distros' of FreeBSD.
