I am no expert but from the man page of setfacl I see:
HISTORY
Extended Attribute and Access Control List support was developed as part
of the TrustedBSD Project and introduced in FreeBSD 5.0.
That means that ACL were not supported in FreeBSD 4, so even if you
compile the command setfacl, you will not be able to use it.
Do you really need to stay wit FreeBSD 4.9? Upgrade to 5, or even 6 is
painless and highly recommended.
Bests,
olivier
