If hte kernel is modified in any way, modules must be re-built. It may take a while for the package to get re-built for a given change as the port has not been modified. The recommended method is to put port modules into /etc/src.conf PORTS_MODULES list so that kernel rebuild will always rebuild the modules, but that only works if the kernel IS built from sources and re-installed. It will be a bigger issue when more people start doing binary updates to the kernel.more routinely.
