As far as I know it's a slightly painful look over SVN logs. First, find the SVN revision that introduced or changed the relevant symbol. Then, look at the SVN history of sys/sys/param.h for changes to __FreeBSD_version symbol. The one that's from the same or later SVN revision as the symbol change is the value you'll need.
