There have been allegations, but no concrete evidence afaik. Gregory Perry, (former NETSEC CTO) sent an email to Theo de Raadt, the BSD project leader alleging that NETSEC developers had helped the FBI insert "a number of backdoors" into the OpenBSD IPSEC implementation. No evidence was publicly confirmed to the best if my knowledge, and open source being what it is, there are lots of eyes on the BSD codebase.
