I'm pretty sure that FreeBSD's SMP was borrowed from BSD/OS, not Darwin. This can be seen right from the opening paragraph of
this paper.
One of the reasons that it took so long for FreeBSD to have journaled UFS was because of SoftUpdates, which sort of gives the effect of journaling. Thus, it wasn't really needed for some time.
