On UNIX Systems, (FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris) is there a way to capture/modify
system calls calls from an application with out modifying the kernel (or
using kernel modules) - preferably in userspace?


Well, in Solaris you can log system calls to a file for later review using
the truss command on a given application:

truss -fo [log file] [exectuable command]
