If you think it's a difficult task, I can set aside next Saturday to start to replace FreeBSD's libc with NetBSD's. I'll probably need a thud account and some disk space. I maintain that the incompatability is gratuitous. Those areas where FreeBSD has code that NetBSD does not should be rolled back into NetBSD anyway.
