I can't speak for the other BSDs, but OpenBSD has been doing a lot of work regarding blocking memory that is marked both as writable and executable at the same time(which is bad), have introduced privilege/capabilities syscalls for security purposes, and have started working hard in virtualitation.

They have also introduced binary updates for both base and ports. The case used to be that you were supposed to compile the updates haha.
