In fact, the FreeBSD ports tree Makefile for QEMU does basically the same thing -- search for 'HOST_USB' in http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/emulators/qemu-devel/Makefile?revision=319450&view=co > This isn't really FreeBSD but "kFreeBSD", which is > a FreeBSD kernel (and ofcorse the kernel headers) > and some more linux-like userspace - it is Debian > userspace running on top of FreeBSD kernel. > > This effectively disables host usb support for > kFreeBSD.

On FreeBSD-current libusb has grown the functionality required by QEMU's recent libusb USB host code, and I'm using that. I assume that the current BSD host USB code works on NetBSD and OpenBSD, but don't really know; possibly they can switch to libusb as well.
