Is there any chance that the author(s) of such port would bring the patches
upstream? The patch attached to the bug report [0] looks quite outdated (it
targets valgrind 3.5.0 AFAICT).

I don't think so, but you can try. You'll need to maintain such port yourself
though, since I have no knowledge/experience (or interest FWIW) in (k)FreeBSD
and I'd probably end up doing more harm than good.
Alternatively, I'd be ok if someone volunteers to maintain the patch set as part
of the "plain" valgrind package (that is co-maintaining the package with me) as
long as the modifications don't impact the Linux builds negatively.
