Regarding if it works on *BSD..

I looked up OpenBSD's arp.c code
(http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.sbin/arp/arp.c), and it
does not appear to use an ioctl at all.

I suspect the ioctl is unsupported for the other platforms, but thats
what ifdef's are for :)

Clearly, its a clean way to do it for Linux.
