It's actually not that hard to write a "libdlopen" that
mmap's exectuable the ld.so itself, and then does manual
lookup of the dl entry points, providing symbols for them
which are actually externed functions wrapping dereferenced
function pointers.

It's just that no one has bothered to do the work, yet,
for FreeBSD (other OSs have it).
