Not aware of any effort in this direction. However, the code in the
Linux kernel is dual-licensed GPL/BSD so at least there should be no
licensing impediments to porting. I believe that is how fq_codel ended
up in BSD.

CAKE does rely on quite a few kernel internals, though, so it would take
someone with integral BSD kernel knowledge to port it to their
equivalents there; in that sense it's not a trivial project...
