ENBD [2] isn't based on the same concept, it "exports" block devices through network via userland application, though it needs a kernel module for client side.
I'd like something like DRBD exists for FreeBSD but I'm not aware of such an implementation.

GEOM Gate does a part of this. I thing using vinum+geom gate you could get a similar setup. However, this isn't exactly what I want - I don't need a 'mirror', I need a cluster of active machines serving the same disk data.
Ok, good to know, thanks for pointing this.
For what it's worth, there is an nbd port: net/nbd-server
I think that's not really the good thing to do, and FreeBSD doesn't have support for nbd-client, so I may just forget it :)
