Apparently the folks at Apple decided that the code to support such

As if it wasn't appalling enough to see them turn a perfectly decent
unix-clone such as FreeBSD into some defect monstrosity that doesn't
even have a case sensitive filesystem.

Actually, Apple provides both case-sensitive and case-insensitive variants of HFS+ (the default Mac OS X filesystem), as well as UFS (case-sensitive, obviously) and others out of the box. A full list of officially-supported filesystems can be found here:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/ FileSystem/Articles/MacOSXAndFiles.html>

Personally, I don't like HFS+ much at all, but your statement that Mac OS X "doesn't even have a case sensitive filesystem" is false.
