Yes, fbsd has the watch command.  However, you have to
recompile your kernel with
	pseudo-device   snp     3
 
It is a snoop device wich gives you access to 
snoop on 3 devices.  Increase this figure if
you want to increase your watch.

Also you have to /dev/MAKEDEV snp0 after the 
new kernel installation, then you should be
fine.
