build /* only */ the required kernel modules

Hi Hackers,
I'm stripping down my kernel, and I use the MODULES_OVERRIDE option in make.conf
Here's the question:
I need support for if_fwe and ng_bluetooth, but I can't find a way to
build /*ONLY*/ the required modules, instead of building
/*EVERYTHING*/ under firewire/ and under netgraph/
Adding "netgraph/bluetooth" and "firewire/fwe" in the MODULES_OVERRIDE
list won't build the parent netgraph and firewire modules, but adding
"netgraph" and "firewire" will build lots of unneeded and unwanted
modules.
Example:
> find /boot/kernel/ -name "ng_*" | wc -l
58
when, /sys/modules/netgraph/bluetooth/Makefile just lists 8 modules as
dependencies.
How could I get rid of the ~50 unneeded modules?
Same thing for firewire, where unneeded if_fwip, sbp and sbp_targ are
also built, along with firewire and if_fwe.
Thanx in advance,
--
