 No, NO_MODULES is a make option, that can made a kernel build much 
 faster. And command `make buildkernel reinstallkernel -DNO_MODULES 
 KERNCONF=SOMEKERNEL' can be used for the fast kernel reinstallation.
 You can remove some options from kernel and rebuild and reinstall it 
 without building modules. With your patch you will lost some modules in 
 this case.
 But i think that your option WITHOUT_MODULES can be usable for build of 
 some smallest systems based on FreeBSD.

 It disables all modules.
