This may be ported on FreeBSD one day. Arla's XFS code actually does quite a good job of providing a userlevel file system framework on FreeBSD, and the Coda kernel module also lets you implement userlevel file systems. I have a slight preference for the Arla XFS implementation as it's more general-purpose. I've previously used Arla's framework to write part of a user level tertiary file system implementation.
