I think he means http://www.bsdstats.org/ - small script to send basic 
informations about system to central database.

from pkg-dedc:

The purpose of this port is to attempt to produce reasonably accurate
statistics on FreeBSD deployment, to be used for both marketing, and
advocacy purposes by the project.

The major problem that we are trying to address is vendors who do not
feel that FreeBSD presents enough of a market to bother supporting.
