Apple Mac OS X and Solaris have differ= ent kernel so they needed modified port of the same code as was in FreeBSD b= ack in the days (there is the same copyright header). Apple sources or Solar= is sources cannot be used directly on FreeBSD but some skilled developer can= look in to those sources to see their evolution.
