Development on both systems has diverged significantly, to the point where saying it's `based on NetBSD' is, quite frankly, more of a slimy marketing trick than a reality. By the same token, you could say that FreeBSD is `based on NetBSD', since you started with NetBSD 0.8. But I somehow doubt that's relevant any more, or that you'd like to state it publically.
