How about something like:

#if defined(__FreeBSD__) && !defined(__FreeBSD_kernel__)
#define __FreeBSD_kernel__
#endif

it can be placed at beginning of each header, then the rest becomes
much simpler.

Note this has the side-effect of defining __FreeBSD_kernel__ on
FreeBSD, which I suspect some people won't be fond of.  An alternative
could be to come up with an ad-hoc macro that means "this system is
either FreeBSD or uses the same kernel as FreeBSD" and define it where
needed.
