there's the alsa-lib from audio/alsa-lib there's https://sourceforge.net/p/opensound/git/ci/master/tree/lib/libsalsa/ from oss that wraps alsa code, would there be issues with any of that in the kernel?
Yes there would be an issue. It doesn't belong into the kernel. It's an userland library. It belongs into the userland (where it is right now) = /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib.
And to answer the question which may come if it makes sense to include it into the FreeBSD basesystem (userland) instead of having it in the ports collection: right now (without any program in the FreeBSD base system) it doesn't make sense. If there is a program which makes use of alsa-lib which shall be imported into the FreeBSD basesystem (not discussing right now if such a program makes sense in the FreeBSD basesystem as we don't have an explicit example to look at), then it makes sense.
