That's because right now module_call_init is not receiving an argv[0] to 
pass to qemu_exec_dir (os_find_datadir has an argument for that).  It 
can be fixed (in the whole call chain, including e.g. 
bdrv_init/bdrv_init_with_whitelist).

However, note that there is OS-specific code already for Linux, FreeBSD 
and Windows.  Adding Darwin makes sense.

On some BSDs there's also /proc/curproc/file.  I don't know _which_ BSDs 
have it though.
