I don't know sysutils/automounter, but the

COMMENT=        Provides scripts to dynamically configure amd

would means that it only prepare the devices entries to be used by the
amd(8) daemon (amd — automatically mount file systems)

Take a look at the amd(8) manpage (I can't help you I never used it)
and the rc.conf(5) to enable it.
