Well, there's a professional group of systems administrators (SAGE; it's affiliated with USENIX, which is another organization that it's a good idea to know about). And the notion of "certification for systems administrators" tends to be one of the more contentious issues discussed, both in the sage-members mailing list and at face-to-face meetings. It seems to me that most of the opinions to which I've been exposed on the matter(s) would likely carry over to any notion of "*BSD certification" (whatever that might mean in a given context). So expecting concensus on the matter doesn't seem reasonable to me....
