Which version of FreeBSD are you running? I modified ALQ last year to be
able to be loaded as a kernel module. Assuming you can "kldload alq" on
your system, you should then be able to load your geom module.
Alternatively as Neel suggests, you can add "options ALQ" to your kernel
config if you don't want to use modules.
