There's a FreeBSD 6.x client for NetBackup, but when we upgraded to NetBackup 7.5...client installs stopped working, after ignoring the problem for a while (since the 7.0 client installs were working) until I had set up a new FreeBSD 9.0 server.

What I did was

1. Install 'misc/compat6x' and 'java/openjdk6'
2. Obtain 'fakegetfsstat.c' - and build it on a 32-bit FreeBSD host (I used the '/compat/i386' environment from building "32bit Wine on FreeBSD/amd64") and put it in '/usr/local/etc' -- there's probably a better place, but
3. check that '/usr/openv/netbackup/client/INTEL/FreeBSD6.0/client_config' has "compat_dir" set to '/usr/local/lib32/compat'
4. Install NBU Client -- It still won't find java, so perform the steps it says using '/usr/local/bin/java'
5. Edit '/usr/local/etc/netbackup'
