Which iSCSI userland configuration files, the ctl.conf(5)?  If you need
an ability to parse it and modify from a shell scripts, see confctl utility
(sysutils/confctl, https://github.com/trasz/confctl/).

Porting to 9 should be quite easy - there are Capsicum API differences;
you might also want to compare CTL between 10 and 9 to see if there are
any changes which need to be merged.  Taking a look at the code searching
for possible security issues would be also very welcome :-)

As for the config files - writing a converter should be quite easy.  Which
configuration files you need to support, ctl.conf(5) and istgt configuration?
