I do not think, that this has changes, see this posting [1] (and 
following postings) in the same thread:

"A loadable module requires a coherent piece of code to implement 
the functionality, that can be put into the module. This option 
scatters tiny snippets of code throughout the exisitng 
TCP/UDP/IP/ipfw code."
