No problem.
Just to clarify, though. The content of man make.conf looks correct to me and the variable did work if you put it in /etc/make.conf. The only issues I saw were the example in the handbook and the failure of makeoptions in the kernel config file.
I do think you could get a number of the modules in your original list excluded if you specified them differently:
WITHOUT_MODULES=firewire bwi bce bfe iwi iwn zfs
Basically remove the dev/ prefix you have on some of them.
Hope that helps.
