Yes and no.

Yes -- you can always compile shell.c source and link against the library;
the code is there, just the BSD make build glues are missing.

No -- the omission is intentional: the library is meant to be used by the
base system as a "private library", which gives us the flexibility to not
give a stable API/ABI promise and to only build with options that the base
system needed (to reduce attack surface), so that when we make an update,
it will be a "wholesale" update and user applications are not broken, even
if sqlite3 update have introduced one.  Users who want sqlite3 should
really install it from ports (databases/sqlite3) or package.
