I hope I am wrong, but unfortunately I think getting Docker to work on
natively on FreeBSD is ultimately a losing battle,
unless you can get a team of several developers to work on it full time.
I have the same gut feeling, but unless somebody actually tries, we can’t
tell for sure, can we? ;-)
Thanks for making the effort.
Now what I wanted to throw in: possibly getting in touch with some of the
people at Joyent who implemented Docker support for Illumos/Solaris
zones might help:

I think the question is how much should be implemented by a freebsd port
and how much should come from the native linux/docker implementation.
There are two extremes:
1. Linux in bhyve, docker is running completely in Linux environment
2. A docker container in a jail with no native linux kernel, docker is
running completely in FreeBSD environment
1 is the least convenient because it requires all the hurdles related to
setting up a bhyve host, including proper network configuration for
containers and pre-allocating disk space. But it also requires no
implementation in freebsd-related docker ports apart from maybe adding
support to docker tools, like docker-machine for example
2 would be most convenient but also most difficult as all smallest
docker features would need to be ported natively to FreeBSD
I believe docker and freebsd-docker ports were trying different
approaches somewhere in between these extremes. Maybe the correct
approach would be to start with 1 and make running docker in bhyve as
convenient as possible, then slowly move to 2 as much as
interest/resources allow?
