According to find, the only *.ko anywhere in the system was
gtkrc.ko, in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/linux-gtk/work/etc/gtk
and /usr/X11R6/share/themes/Default/gtk.

I suspect this may be additional fallout from my earlier problem,
wherein sysinstall had failed to install the kernel:

Evidently it also failed to install the ext2fs module.
One way to fix it:

  # cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ext2fs
  # make
  # cp ext2fs.ko /boot/modules
