For the sake of completeness MooseFS is also available on FreeBSD and 
probably also satisfies your crtieria (never used it, just seen it 
mentioned before on this list).

I'm still hoping to get a chance to play with glusterfs sometime in the 
near future mostly on Sci Linux, but with some opportunity to check it 
out on FreeBSD as well. Though my interest is more in a distributed 
*posix* filesystem, and we're already abusing HDFS via its fuse 
interface as such; perhaps I shouldn't be going down the same path again!
