www.rabbit.org has a list of 'rabbit friendly' veggies in case you want to check for any other veggies :)

basil is not poisonous
Medicinal Uses
Medicinally basil is used both as an antidepressant and an antiseptic. Leaves can be rubbed on the skin to relive itching from insect bites. The leaves are also made into a concoction with honey and used for cough syrup. The essential oil extracted from the leaves can be used as an insect repellent or massage oil to aid in depression and anxiety. (Source: Herbs and Herb Gardening, Jessica Houdret)

Yes, Basil is rabbit-safe. My two love it. If your rabbit has not had any vegetables before, introduce them slowly. If basil is a new veggie, as with all new veggies, give him a small amount and monitor his feces to see if he has a bad reaction to it.
