The binary > code is about 20k or so. Could you be a bit more specific wrt dependencies? Does the device in question provide an API via said .so and a .h? You could try using ndisasm (from the /devel/nasm port) or a perl script called dasm that calls objdump and see if you can get something usable from there. If the .so is small it shouldn't be that much work, although it might be more practical to derive the interface code from the asm output (i.e. reverse engineer) than try to shoehorn the resulting .S into a FreeBSD .so. The other alternative would be building a Linux binary as Kris has suggested, although I suspect that this .so is involved in some sort of i/o which might or might not be easily ported to FreeBSD.
