you can always install lsof from pkgsrc, or use two commands you
already have to work it out.

  % netstat -Aan (where the A tells netstat to give pcb addresses)
  ...
  f0a14300 udp        0      0  *.4886             *.*               
  ...
  % fstat | grep f0a14300
  root     named      26065    4* internet dgram udp f0a14300
  % 

if fstat doesn't show it, i'd be guessing that it's just an ephemeral
socket.

freebsd and openbsd might be obtaining the entire netstat table first
before looking things up.  that way the socket won't be in existence
when netstat is determining all the open sockets.
