I looked at your links.  Nothing pops out.

Well, it does on FreeBSD:
http://docs.freebsd.org/doc/4.5-RELEASE/usr/share/doc/ntp/ldisc.htm

    " The entire PPS interface functionality is currently provided by
    inline code in the timepps.h header files implemented for SunOS,
    Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux and Tru64. "

Why would freebsd support RFC 2783 and openbsd not?

BSD also support TIOCDCDTIMESTAMP, which might be a bitch to use...
