He thinks that the current Apple autofs might be licensed under the ASPL but doesn't have the bandwidth to do any work on porting that to FreeBSD.

Most of the autofs code comes from Sun and is licensed under the CDDL.  Some Apple-specific changes and pieces of glue are under the APSL.  Various versions of the source code are available under:

  http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/autofs/
  http://www.opensource.apple.com/tarballs/autofs/autofs-154.tar.gz

It's likely that OpenSolaris has similar source available somewhere which would be likely to be under the CDDL only....
