Hmm,
This seems to work ok. For example, if I kldload ng_ether
or ng_pppoe when nothing is loaded, netgraph is auto-loaded.
I can even run ngctl(1), and ng_socket & netgraph are magically
loaded.
I'm running with an April 3 kernel (I reverted it because kernels
over the past few days have dysfunctional shared library support).
Perhaps the problem is only in -stable (I know there are some funny
problems in -stable when for example options NETGRAPH is in the
kernel and you try to kldload ng_xxx) ?
