I'd be interested to see a talk like that and perhaps participate in discussion, but I can hardly lead a presentation. I'm not the BSD guru I may pretend to be, but I do use OpenBSD for firewall/router/VPN gateway infrastructure points though and find it very well suited to those needs.
I don't think I have the notes anymore from the BSD talk I did many moons ago for the CT Free Unix Group. I just poked around archive.org and found that I talked about BSD vs System V type Unices and demoed a NetBSD install on my old Sparc IPC back on March 8th, 2001. I don't really have a concrete reason these days to choose BSD vs Linux. OpenBSD (and now crossported to Net & Free) is the *excellent* load-balancing/redundancy protocol, CARP. I used that and FreeBSD at my last job to have an active/passive RADIUS setup. I also was trying at one point to see how many different NetBSD platforms I could run in my house (right now, it stands at about 10 different NetBSD arches). I've run both Open and Free in production at various jobs as well. -Shawn
