I have a disk dump of a failed drive from some time ago which I
want to recover. It is a complete dump with partitions and filesystems
and I'm in seek again for a tool to allow me to recover the
information from that disk. 

I was hoping to get a working ffsrecov now under -current but probably that
wouldn't have helped me either.
ffsrecov under -current ist still marked broken.
I have a ffsrecov binary but that one requires libc.so.4. I noteced that
the gpart port (/usr/ports/sysutils/gpart) was requiring ffsrecov when I
built that. Can I trick ffsrecov and links something else to libc.so.4?

Anyone knowing of a way to approach this problem?

I can create a vnode (mdconfig) of that disk but trying to fsck on it
fails for obvious reasons, since I had to access the slices and not the whole
disk dump.
