Sorry, I can't help you with these, try posting this information to
freebsd-stable list.

You can have a kernel without umass, but with uhid, ukbd, ums and other
USB device drivers. When you need to access a USB device (after boot)
you can just load the kernel module (umass.ko), wait the timeout and
continue using it. I think the embedded CD/DVD drive in the chassis
presents itself as a USB device so when you build a kernel without
umass, you won't be able to access it (until you load the kernel module,
of course).

Yes, very likely.
