Patch removing explicit kld from CATEGORIES

This patch removes "kld" from CATEGORIES if USES is set to "kmod" because
according to Porter's Handbook:

> (5.3.3. Choosing the Right Category)
> Ports installing loadable kernel modules also have the virtual category 
> kld in their CATEGORIES line. This is one of the things handled 
> automatically by adding USES=kmod.
