Well, those are both interesting, but don't get me anywhere right now.
I know it can be done, I just don't know what it takes to do it.
Here's just enough information to tantalize:

I'd even be willing to tangle a little with source code, as long as it
didn't get too messy and someone could point me to it with enough
detail. Or, I wonder if it could be as simple as going into Makefile and
changing "DUMP=/usr/sbin/ufsdump" to something else? "Simple" being
defined as excluding the process of writing and debugging the script --
but I've done that for my own backup scripts before adopting amanda.
A quick look through indicates that there are about 10 different src or
Makefiles that have "DUMP=/usr/sbin/ufsdump" after having run the configure.

I read your entire post and second your suggestions for the
future development of Amanda. It would be great if one could
specify the backup utilities used and their parameters via
configuration instead of via recompiling.
Short answer to your current problem: the FreeBSD port has got
an option to enable snapshots. If you choose to use them, it
patches the Amanda source.
Since the FreeBSD port maintainers in general seek to be as
non-intrusive as possible to 3rd party software, my educated
guess is that this is the only way to achieve the desired effect.
