Does posix_fallocate() implemented (has support) for any of the underlying filesystems in NetBSD/FreeBSD?

As far as I know no filesystem actually implements the support in NetBSD.

Also, as per my understanding, all calls to posix_fallocate() internally go to fallocate() systemcall which are redirected to vop_fallocate_desc(). So in the project https://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/ffs-fallocate/ we only need to implement ffs_fallocate() right?

Yes, pretty much.
