PORTS_MODULES is suboptimal because it forces you to rebuild the entire port 
when you build a new kernel. If you keep your ports tree up to date regularly 
(eg cron job) this can mean the version of the KLD changes between kernel 
builds which is a bit of a POLA violation IMO.

You also end up with part of your kernel build outside of /usr/obj which make 
be a problem if you build for multiple machines. (Although my attempt has a 
related limitation)
