It's not a FreeBSD system call; it's the fact that you don't have the
FreeBSD shared libraries in /emul/freebsd/usr/lib/lib*.so.*, and the FreeBSD
dynamic linker in /emul/freebsd/usr/libexec/ld.so ... The symptom of this
problem (unimplemented system call #279) is vague, but it isn't easy to work
around given the technical cause of the problem.

Read the compat_freebsd(8) manual page; it describes how to correctly run
FreeBSD binaries on NetBSD.
