 FreeBSD-stable does not define _POSIX_MEMLOCK.
 FreeBSD-current defines _POSIX_MEMLOCK as -1.
 
 This indicates to applications that these features are not supported.

 FreeBSD and NetBSD have completely different virtual-memory systems.
 The functionality would have to be rewritten from scratch.  Perhaps
 you can interest one of the VM gurus.
