   What is the status of shared libraries in NetBSD-current and FreeBSD?

In both, but not released.  They'll be in FreeBSD 1.1 and (I'm guessing)
NetBSD 1.0 or whatever they decide to call it.

   If they are not included in the distribution, can I FTP an implementation
   from somewhere? Is XFree86 2.0 compiled with shared libraries?

Yes, XFree86 2.0 is compiled fully shared.  Using it now - works great!
