I'm sorry, I don't have a port of the driver and client to BSD.
The client should work as is, as it is ioctl-based. The driver
would need quite some work to port - it has to be done by someone who
understands both linux and bsd kernel internals. 90% could be done
automaically, but then one gets to the fine points .. a BSD block-driver
author could do it easily. Perhaps the loopback device author.
Ssolaris would also be interesting.
