This is a real problem with kmod packages. If hte kernel is modified in any
way,  modules must be re-built. It may take a while for the package to get
re-built for a given change as the port has not been modified. The
recommended method is to put port modules into /etc/src.conf PORTS_MODULES
list so that  kernel rebuild will always rebuild the modules, but that only
works if the kernel IS built from sources and re-installed. It will be a
bigger issue when more people start doing binary updates to the kernel.more
routinely.
