Each BSD variant uses its own kernel. FreeBSD uses the FreeBSD kernel
(no, there is no specific name for it) just as NetBSD uses the NetBSD
kernel and so on.
You can't swap it out for another kernel (not without lots of work
anyway) and if you did it would no longer really be FreeBSD but some
new system.
