Not exactly.  The FDP at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/writing-style.html 
says:

   Use American English Spelling

   There are several variants of English, with different spellings for
   the same word. Where spellings differ, use the American English
   variant.  "color", not "colour", "rationalize", not "rationalise", and
   so on.

   Note: The use of British English may be accepted in the case of
   a contributed article, however the spelling must be consistent within
   the whole document. The other documents such as books, web site,
   manual pages, etc. will have to use American English.
