You can use bsd.kmod.mk on Debian all the same.  Make sure you
have installed:

freebsd-buildutils
kfreebsd-headers-8.2-1-amd64 (>= 8.2-2)

then:

SYSDIR=/usr/src/kfreebsd-headers-8.2-1-amd64/sys
PATH=/usr/lib/freebsd:$PATH make

For an example of this in action see:

http://people.debian.org/~rmh/fuse/

(Note: this package still needs cleanup, but the build system works)
