 The application attempts to lock the device special file (here
 /dev/da0s1) with fcntl, this obviously works in Linux, and the netbsd
 pkg_src patches don't change that behaviour, so I assume it also works
 there.

 Should  fcntl work here? I have had a quick look and some the base OS
 tools and can't find an example of its use in this context.
