Whats the difference to OSv?

they look pretty similar from the outside

nanos is recently written for this particular use case and uses lwip for networking

osv looks like FreeBSD with some machinery around it to package single applications and run them on boot

Just because ZFS? Because everything else is not from BSD's, it's a unikernel made to run on a hypervisor made to run linux-bin's, i really don't see a difference....or any plus to use nanos.

I was just looking at the source, there are big hunks of freebsd kernel in there, but I don't know the real functional decomposition.

didn't suggest that nanos was better - if it does indeed use big hunks of freebsd code, that's had considerably more cooking time than nanos.
