Hmm, on FreeBSD 10 this already is in the GENERIC kernel:

# USB support
options         USB_DEBUG       # enable debug msgs
device          uhci            # UHCI PCI->USB interface
device          ohci            # OHCI PCI->USB interface
device          ehci            # EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0)
device          xhci            # XHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 3.0)
device          usb             # USB Bus (required)
device          ukbd            # Keyboard
device          umass           # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da


So I am unsure that your suggestion would work.
