If you set sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 you can install linux_base-c6 on RELENG_9 It works well enough at least for nvidia-driver, as my main desktop is 9.3-RELEASE-p9 and has nvidia-driver and linux_base-c6-6.6_3 installed Remember to put compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18 into /etc/sysctl.conf so it's preserved on startup I believe if you read the message from linux_base-c6 that's basically what it told you to do.
