OSX is substantially different from FreeBSD (even without netinfo)
despite having some of the same source code.  I doubt you'll find
much OSX expertise among freebsd-security subscribers even if it
wasn't OT.

Assuming there is no osx-security list or newsgroup your best bet
would be to contact Apple directly.  However, given Apple's
difficulties issuing patches and all the insecure, desktop-oriented
changes made to OSX's older FreeBSD base, it's a losing battle
(IME).
