If you're looking at a FreeBSD 4.x syscalls.master file, those syscall names and numbers are there for compatibility purposes only. They are actually implemented in 5.0-CURRENT, and yes, there is a manual page describing them there. I do not think that there are any plans of merging the extended attributes support functionality into FreeBSD 4.x; however, you might want to check with the TrustedBSD Project site http://www.trustedbsd.org/ for more details.
