Opening file to be used with kevent

Hi guys,
What are recommended flags to use when opening file descriptor to be
used later with kevent(2)?
I was thinking to specify O_RDONLY but I guess that would prevent any
other process from opening file with O_EXCL (and I don't care about file
contents anyway, I just want to be notified when file is changed).
Apparently Darwing has O_EVTONLY for this purpose, so I am wondering if
FreeBSD has something equivalent (or what would be the weakest mode to
pass to open(2))?
Kind regards,
Ivan
