Actually, while I'm not sure how Linux does it, on the *BSDs pipes are actually socketpairs.

Not any more. FreeBSD replaced the socketpair implementation with a faster one in 1996 and OpenBSD imported it soon after. NetBSD imported it in 2001 and Mac OS X in 10.4 (2005). Dragonfly BSD forked from FreeBSD after the new pipe code was introduced.
