It seems so but I'm no expert. The FreeBSD handbook states [0]:

"Many Linux(c) distributions use the SysV init system, whereas FreeBSD
uses the traditional BSD-style init(8). Under the BSD-style init(8),
there are no run-levels and /etc/inittab does not exist. Instead,
startup is controlled by rc(8) scripts."

So if systemd and SysV are listed, BSD-style init should also be
listed.

Thanks, Roger.
