It would be nice if this were in the GENERIC kernel.  I came across 
this when installing the NTP port.  NTP determines whether an O/S has 
support for POSIX priority scheduling by looking in the /usr/include.  
If it cannot find it it assumes rtprio support.  Since it finds it in 
/usr/include it includes support even though the kernel may not have 
support included it.

I suppose another alternative might be for ports that check for it, 
check using sysctl p1003_1b.priority_scheduling, rather than looking in 
/usr/include, to determine whether it's supported in that particular 
kernel or not.
