You were mislead by yet another misleading article, Ninguem. De Raadt was not referring to crypto at all, but to programming practices for kernel services such as memory allocations. His complaint is that FreeBSD has developed but elected not to deploy several such security features, which began use in OpenBSD and have migrated to other platforms, including Linux and (gasp!) Windows. Look to his presentation, referenced in the article, and the last several slides.
