Even current module framework allows this - you need to keep the
prelinked object modload creates (via modload -S) and then link against
that instead of /netbsd (via modload -A tmp_file). It's cumbersome,
but possible.

I think that emulations should not depend on the code to be present.
Each should use their own version of the routines. This would not
be too hard if compat_43 code is split to individual files by
function. Emulation would pull in stuff it needs and rename
symbols with #define appropriately.
