FreeBSD and NetBSD have st_birthtime in struct stat, so we can easily get creation time of files without manually setting xattr. There is existing code for PLATFORM(COCOA), and we can just reuse it.

FreeBSD xattr API is incompatible with Linux xattr API, so GLib doesn't support it. st_birthtime works on both UFS2 and tmpfs.
NetBSD xattr has a compatible interface with Linux xattr, but it is only supported on old filesystem such as UFS1. st_birthtime works on both UFS2 and tmpfs.
