I think a lot of it has to do with the development ideology behind the BSD's vs. Linux. Linux is, by definition, designed for building "frankenOS's", where you pick one piece here, one piece there, etc... until the whole matches your requirements. The BSD's, on the other hand, are more consistent, so rebuilding OpenBSD gives you...OpenBSD. Yeah, there are spinoffs, but most of those are package configurations on top of a (mostly) stock core.
And I'll second the mention for LFS. What that will give you is a vanilla Linux system that you can customize to whatever you want.
