AFAIK, this is not available with FreeBSD. There is no user level
filesystem support. However, NetBSD announced [1] that one of their
project for Google Summer of Code is to implement userspace file system
hooks. This may be ported on FreeBSD one day.
Arla's XFS code actually does quite a good job of providing a userlevel
file system framework on FreeBSD, and the Coda kernel module also lets you
implement userlevel file systems. I have a slight preference for the Arla
XFS implementation as it's more general-purpose. I've previously used
Arla's framework to write part of a user level tertiary file system
implementation.
