This is interesting, having had to deal with the LARGEFILE_64_SOURCE and 
_LP64 'hacks' (llseek(), creat64(), etc etc...back in Solaris from 2.6 
on, which seem to still be in place in Solaris 9.  Are all file 
operations and mmap() 64 bit capable then in FreeBSD (or presumably 
Open/Net/FreeBSD?)  I don't see any LARGEFILE constants in FreeBSD....
