Most are (or can be) based on real combinations of a unit force, unit distance and unit time.

Explanation:

The units that cannot involve things like the candela, the Kelvin and the kilogram (oh, what a pain that unit is!)

There's a comprehensive, but rather dry, discussion here http://www.npl.co.uk/reference/measurement-units/si-base-units/

And an excellent diagram here:
