Debian GNU/Linux. woody mixed with packages from testing an unstable. Which 
goes pretty smooth mostly (Long live pinning ;) ).

I don't know if I find the bsd ports a good idea. (afaik they use only the 
kernel and use gnu userland?) I think it makes more sense to incorporate good 
Gnu features and/or other things commonly found in linux distros into bsd. 
Such as a decent package management system. I found openbsd's pretty 
primitive, or I missed a ton of docs describing the most nifty features.
