No, 
Example: 
two modules kld.c and kld1.1: 
kld: 	http://pastebin.com/m67799565    Makefile: http://pastebin.com/m5418e5a7
kld1:	http://pastebin.com/d154e8474    Makefile: http://pastebin.com/m79723138

In kld is public int var_from_kld declared. To access this variable from
kld1 you have to uncomment macro MODULE_DEPEND

My system:
% uname -v
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p5 #0: Tue Oct  7 19:05:20 CEST 2008

Tell me please if I do something wrong!

Thanx
