I don't know. I haven't gotten that far but I haven't had the need either.

I thought about that one the other day and given what little I know about
FreeBSD's shared libraries, I don't think you can do this. You should be
able to build a socksified libc and fix runsocks to pick it up instead of
the regular libc.
This should have been possible with socks4 as well. It is only useful
for using precompiled stuff so you don't need it if you can link against
the static lib.
