Not quite; I've found that even the BSD releases use quite a lot of FSF tools (not surprising, because technically they are very good; it's just the politics that are unacceptable), and even if you did want to reinvent all the application level wheels you'd still be stuck with having to use gcc, because you might occationally want to rebuild the kernel.
