You mean the following one:

  http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/net/if.c?v=OPENBSD#L1944

In FreeBSD I think one can extract the values for queue (maximum)
length and drops stats from the ifq structure using the
_IF_DROP()/_IF_QLEN() macros here:

  http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/net/if_var.h?im=bigexcerpts#L247

I'm not sure whether you might need to use locking primitives to query
these values for MP reasons with IF_LOCK()/IF_UNLOCK().

Adrian.
