I didn't spend a whole bunch of time searching, but
it appears that the answer is no.  I believe it would
have to be a kernel module (or compiled in) & no
such beast exists that I know of.

It does appear that NetBSD has quite a bit better
compatibility with other OSes:

I actually quite like NetBSD, but I haven't used
it since the dim & distant days of 1.6.2-ish.
