Actually, according to what we are tracking at http://bsdstats.org, there are 
currently *8*:

PC-BSD
FreeBSD
PYC-BSD (aka Rus-BSD)
DesktopBSD
OpenBSD
NetBSD
DragonflyBSD
MidnightBSD


Tracking something like DesktopBSD which doesn't exist for quite a
long time make statistics not much useful. MidnightBSD seems to be
same case as last activy on mailing list last year in May, forums
doesn't working at all so we are still on 4 core BSDs
(Open/Net/Free/Dfly).

I find it rather meaningless as a tracking tool for BSD in general. There is no way something like 2BSD would ever appear there, no matter how many systems were installed.

And I also do happen to consider OS-X to be a BSD system. :-)

Am I bat crap crazy for thinking it could be good to merge the four largest BSD 
variants out there, take the best bits and pieces out of each and create a 
Unified BSD?

You'd end up creating a fifth.
At least a sixth, IIRC. You left out MirBSD from your distribution list
