I'm surprised that not only is there no application firewall for any of the BSDs, there doesn't even seem to be any need for it. There is OpenSnitch, but only for Linux.

Biggest market for BSDs is the server one, so it's a simple lack of demand.

SELinux can be somewhat classified as an app firewall but it's a policy framework after all and that suited for that.

NetBSD actually does better in that regard with its VeriExec stuff.
Maybe the closest things are chroot jails and pledge/unveil, both of which are application-specific or built in to the package. (I'm agreeing with you.)
