Apple did Open Source a good portion of the underlying, BSD based, pieces of OSX. See Wikipedia's Darwin Entry for full details as well as a release history. Apple keeps the upper level stuff proprietary, like their UX components and does not release those as OSS. If you want a full list of all the Apple OSS projects/inclusions, check out Apple's Open Source page.
