Although not immediately obvious from a visit to the web site,
(the main one being http://www.freebsd.org), the full story
of FreeBSD's Y2000 compliance is listed under the Newsflash
link (from Feb this year), and under the Documentation link.

If you haven't read it (yet) :

Short answer - it is Y2K compliant, yes.
Long  answer - although Y2k compliant, it's untrue to say that FreeBSD
is 100% time compliant. Like all UNIX systems, problems will
start occuring (unless fixed, of course) in 2038.
