I think the NO_XXX options are spelled consistently with an underscore
these days.

Other than that, the change looks fine here.  I usually do have a
preference for quoting literal text in separate paragraphs, as in:

%     <note>
%       <para>The module assumes the presence of at least the following
%         options in the kernel configuration file:</para>
%
%       <programlisting>options            INET
% device           bpf</programlisting>
%
%       <para>Unless <literal>NOINET6</literal> (for example in
%         &man.make.conf.5;) was defined during the build, it also
%         requires:</para>
%
%       <programlisting>options            INET6</programlisting>
%     </note>

But that's just a matter of personal taste.
