The explanation makes no sense to me. It doesn't really mean build,
it's a choice of where the new modules will be installed.
MODULES_WITH_WORLD
(bool) Set to install modules in the /boot/modules directory.
Unset to install modules in the /boot/kernel directory along
with the FreeBSD kernel.
It really should be inverted and the variable named MODULES_WITH_KERNEL.
