It is rather easy to do it now.
See debian/generate-asm.sh in source of linux-kernel-headers.

And the first step is to add into debian/rules of kfreebsd-kernel-headers something like

 	bi_kfreebsd_cpu = amd64
 	cd $(SRC_DIR)/sys/$(bi_kfreebsd_cpu)/include \
                 && find . -type f -name "*.h" -exec cp --parents {} $(HEADERS_PACKAGE)/usr/include/$(bi_kfreebsd_cpu) \;
