You should look at:

 ftp.bsdi.com:/contrib/kernel/patches/1.1/SVID_semmsg_v1.1.shar.gz

Description is:

 SVID_semmsg_v1.1.shar.gz
   Implementation of System V Interface Definition semaphores and
   message passing for BSD/386 1.1 by Danny Boulet
   <danny@nahanni.BouletFermat.ab.ca>.

I have not used it, and I assume you must have kernel sources to
install it.
