The concept of private namespaces does not exist on FreeBSD. It would require a modification of the lookup mechanism, and, potentially, a seperation of credentials from the process into a session manager. This is actually the problem at issue in an SMBFS implementation, and for which the Linux guys punted: the credential in SMB is per connection, not per user. There is some newer stuff in LANMan to deal with this inter-NT, and SAMBA incorporates this, but session ID's are not supported over a single VC by all LANMan servers. NetWare has the same problem, FWIW, as does NUC (a client FS for NetWare).
