Look through the freebsd-hackers archive. There was an rpc.lockd
implementation announced there looking for testers about a month or so
before the 4.0 release. The person who wrote it is David Cross who is
now a FreeBSD committer I believe.
Thats my recollection anyway. Unfortunately I haven't seen any recent
followups. At the time it was deemed too close to the 4.0 release. If you
do test it maybe you can prod David with the results and get it committed
to -current.
