We already have this. See:

kfreebsd-image-8, kfreebsd-image-9,
The udeb doesn't, though. I'm just not sure how to do it there.
Or there may even be a way to modify freebsd-net-tools so it is
compatible with both kernels, if that's vital.
I don't think that would work. The redefinition of ifaliasreq, etc
structs make it very error-prone to attempt compatibility.
