This would be great; we've been waiting for it for some time.  If you
could also coordinate with Alexander Rybalko <ray at dlink.ua>, who
described his module for kernel lzma support in Feb.:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2010-February/030774.html

(and follow-ups on -hackers Feb.-Mar.) to help him incorporate his
work, that would be appreciated.
