It seems be due to this:

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=197330

It can be solved when 9.x ABI is stable in freebsd-utils 9.0
by conditional paths of code.
I would keep it for now under kfreebsd-9.

Upstream could do it properly, without ABI breaking, i.e. by

#define GIO_KEYMAP_OLD   _IOR('k', 6, keymap_t)
#define PIO_KEYMAP_OLD   _IOW('k', 7, keymap_t)
...
#define GIO_KEYMAP       _IO('k', 16)
#define PIO_KEYMAP       _IO('k', 17)
