NicK:

That may or may not be true... KAME may be ahead of you but
the SCTP code also has an option for porting to an
older version of bsd that has an older KAME... You define
in your make:

  -DSCTP_BASE_FREEBSD

and then you can compile to a quite a bit older version of KAME. We
compile this way for older 4.x code as well as the newer
5.x code (which is also way out of date with the latest KAME).

So.. you might be able to give it a try this way if you are
interested I can send you a list of files that need some
changing and even possibly the files (depending on how old
your version is)...
