Thanks for your reply Max
There is no GENERIC kernel ;). Unfortunately, on arm, my understanding is that loadable modules are not (yet?) supported. They are surely not being build. Therefore I am not stripping down, I'm trying to find the necessary modules to include in my monolithic freebsd-arm kernel to get this to work. At least yours and others remarks gives me hope my problem can be resolved without patches :)
So I will now build another kernel with NETGRAPH_SOCKET. I will also check on an i386 system where modules are available to see which need to be loaded.

Thanks again!
