The locking.9 is not the part of the current build as the comment
of the initial commit of that file says.

But if you're running -CURRENT, then you can view the page from
the sources (assuming that you have the system sources in /usr/src/):
$ groff -Tascii -mandoc /usr/src/share/man/man9/locking.9 | less
Our you can download the locking.9 from
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/man/man9/locking.9
