NETGRAPH not working on ARM?

Therefore I am not stripping down, I'm trying to find the necessary modules to include in my monolithic freebsd-arm kernel to get this to work. At least yours and others remarks gives me hope my problem can be resolved without patches :)

The default kernel configuration for RPi disable the building of modules.
That is caused by the statement
makeoptions    MODULES_OVERRIDE=""
in sys/arm/conf/RPI-B. If you change it e.g. to
makeoptions    MODULES_OVERRIDE="geom/geom_mirror"
the named module will be build and installed into /boot/kernel/.
