You're nearly on track. vnconfig (or vnd(4) to be precise) acts
as a block device towards "above" and accesses a file "below".

So you CAN
  vnconfig -k ... svnd0 /some/file
Then ONCE:
  disklabel -E svnd0
  newfs /dev/rsvnd0a
And always:
  mount /dev/svnd0a /some/where

Or you could try out the experimental tcfs support (mount_tcfs and
other commands/man pages) that is with soon-to-be-2.8.
