The secret is to use polling on paths you don't want to lock. The problem with FreeBSD's kqueue system is that it requires the file/directory to be open in order to monitor it. If you disable kernel notification for certain paths, and opt for polling, then the files do not need to be opened, and thus they will not prevent umount from working.
