It can be either. You can install the X server and Gnome/KDE/XFCE etc. and you'll have a GUI just like any modern Linux distro.

PC-BSD would be a better choice if one wants a GUI.

Superficially they're pretty much the same. The real difference is under the hood, e.g. the kernel, but they pretty much have the same subset of programs and command line utilities.
