bsd equivalent of coreutils

I know that there is a bsdgrep, but what about the other "fundamental" Unix tools like ls, cp and whatnot. Is there a standard BSD equivalent of those? I have also noticed that OS X uses the BSD versions of those tools, so I'm guessing they have been around for decades
 
They are part of what is know as the base system and they are not packaged in any way because of a conscious choice of keeping the base system as a complete whole and the ports/packages separate from the base system. Browsing the FreeBSD SVN repository is probably a good start to see how those utilities are maintained. For example:
