I didn't do anything special -- I took the coward's way out and let 'XFree86 
-configure' do the work.    ;-)

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

Here's the resulting module section:

Section "Module"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "dri"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "xtrap"
        Load  "speedo"
        Load  "type1"
EndSection
