I thought the remnants were cleared with 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc/124343 The leftover is 
not even connected to the build and can be safely removed.

I even can't test it - I only have pcm0: <Aureal Vortex 8830> port 
0xd000-0xd007,0xd400-0xd407 mem 0xeb000000-0xeb03ffff irq 22 at de
vice 12.0 on pci0
