I haven't looked at the rest of this thread yet, but modules indeed
exist for all of the above. Alas, on my system corresponding devices
still do not.

An additional hardware failure has appeared with one of the lower
speed USB ports. Everything else on that card is still working. I had
unplugged the mouse from that port and now nothing plugged into that
port works (I tried both the mouse and an old Seagate FreeAgent 2TB
drive. The drive subsequently worked when plugged into another low
speed port on the front of the machine.

As to the earlier recommended fsck -fy, I ran it, and indeed had to
empty out /lost+found to get to where I could get a clean pass. I
think I took a lot of these hits in repeatedly reconstructing
databases, but looking over what's left, it looks like some source
files may have been lost from both /usr/src and /usr/ports, so I am
drawing down fresh copies of those trees. The system has now been up
for

 3:17PM  up  5:30, 4 users, load averages: 0.27, 0.29, 0.36

I'm hopeful. The mess in /var/db/entropy seems a lot more reasonable:
