Writing portable C that uses pledge/unveil?
It looks like this is the same check for pledge/define HAVE_PLEDGE/guard the pledge invocation pattern is used in Brian Callahan's OpenED portable version of OpenBSD's ed(1).

Is there an editor like emacs, vim, etc. but (solely) used in the BSD world?
ed(1) on BSD is distinct from GNU ed (which broke some of my common usage patterns in version 1.14). However, it is portable so could be built on Linux if you want. :-)

One of the many versions of emacs called JOVE is one that I used for many years until computers got fast enough that running full GNU emacs for even tiny edits was quick. I no longer use it. It has a long history in BSD systems.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing oed and jove you can also consider the following projects:
nvi2 - A multibyte fork of the nvi editor for BSD
mg - Micro (GNU) Emacs-like text editor ❤️ public-domain
oconfigure - configuration script for portable, OpenBSD-oriented systems
kakoune - mawww's experiment for a better code editor
rpki-client-portable - Portability shim for OpenBSD's rpki-client
