A special case is the legacy BSD "select", where
FreeBSD & DF do not implement the corresponding POSIX "pselect", but
they implement the much better "kevent", which shall be used instead of
"select".
I don't think you can compare kqueue to select, as kevents can be used 
for arbitrary conditions (with extensibility), and select only wakes at 
reads, writes and exceptions.
