We're actually already playing this game for example with iconv
functions. Headers of libiconv from Ports can act as our native
iconv.h when compiled with -DLIBICONV_PLUG. See
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/4f1440897063b1e390df60a755aa7375e2d7c253/Mk/Uses/iconv.mk#L47

In the same vein, we can teach libinotify-kqueue headers to forward
calls to the native implementation.
