I have yet to look into *BSD based solutions, but hear very good things about firewall performance. I don't know about BGP/OSPF/MPLS etc support on FreeBSD but am going to wager a guess its on par with Linux if not better.
The underlying OS is responsible for packet forwarding, but none of them do any significant routing protocols natively.
OpenBSD has OpenOSPFD/OpenBGPD in the base OS rather than as a port/ package, so it's fully coupled with any kernel changes (and supports some things missing from the FreeBSD port).
