Note that MacPorts legacy support provides an implementation of openat() for 10.9 and earlier. Using it from a port is usually easy: see bfs for an example. Using it outside of MacPorts should still be possible, but could require digging in https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/_resources/port1.0/group/legacysupport-1.1.tcl for the needed include header and linker flags.
