Take a look at how x11/nvidia-driver and net/nvnet do it. 
(@cwd in pkg-plist in particular) Those ports do pretty much exactly the
same thing you want to do.  (So you can see that there isn't much
for preexisting functionality).

Don't forget to put your kernel module in /boot/modules, not
/boot/kernel, otherwise it'll get nuked on kernel install (nvnet does
this wrong)
