FreeBSD has adopted evdev/libinput and, if I recall correctly, mostly comparable KMS/DRM APIs to Linux, which makes it the only BSD currently reasonably capable of running real Wayland stacks that are actually useful to day-to-day users.
Outside of FreeBSD, the story deteriorates rapidly: see this article about what it's taking to get even the absolute basics, like Weston (which ~nobody actually uses as a daily driver), running on OpenBSD: https://xenocara.org/Wayland_on_OpenBSD.html https://xenocara.org/Wayland_on_OpenBSD.html
