I don't think so, at least not so far as OpenBSD is concerned.
Libpcap is part of OpenBSD, as far as I can tell.  My
belief is that OpenBSD sees no reason to ship Linux symbols
that are unused in OpenBSD.  I am not versed in OpenBSD
development, but that's how it seems to me.  OpenBSD prefers
code clean and tidy and it's not clear to me how Linux symbols
would fit into that approach.
