Most likely this is an accidental feature of the linux code and not the
specific decision by the freebsd emulation of it.

I think I am fine with amd64 doing
#define PMAP_HAS_DMAP 1
in machine/param.h. I do not insist on the name.
Then ppc could define its version as a reference to the variable. I thought
that might be you can create less clumsy model of propagating this to the
MI VM level.
