The NFS client file system in FreeBSD is a huge piece of software. It 
needs several FreeBSD synchronization primitives, the file system layer, 
kernel-internal XDR/RPC, crypto infrastructure, kernel threads, and 
probably more. Definitely more than 100 header and source files are 
involved here.

The legacy stack is a dead end. Why not update the BSPs to use libbsd?
