(catching up on an old thread)

I got Arla working on FreeBSD 7.x without too much trouble a couple of years 
ago, and at least some of my patchs made it upstream.  I'd expect someone with 
a bit of AFS/Arla + a moderate amount of FreeBSD kernel experience could get 
it working in a couple of days.  The main changes of note in the FreeBSD 8.x 
kernel from 7.x are a move to variable-size group lists in credentials (which 
tripped up OpenAFS recently), and a move to read-locking of vnodes during read 
I/O (also tripped up OpenAFS recently).  The tricky part is not so much 
getting it working on FreeBSD, as coming up with upstreamable patches and the 
right configure parts, I think.  nnpfs is a quite decent framework for doing 
this sort of thing.
