Yes, it will work in the kernel just fine.  The main reason I didn't 
make it sys/rb.h is that sys/tree.h already exists (and I haven't 
bothered to write a manual page either).  There is nothing fundamentally 
wrong with the sys/tree.h implementation, except that it takes more data 
structure space, which was hurting malloc quite a bit.
