Right -- that is a kernel option, but it's new in 5.x and I have yet to get my paws on a 4.x system. However it's a standard option in the GENERIC kernel, so I'd say you should incorporate it unless you have a specific reason not to. Mind you, as what it seems to do is enable some 4.x specific syscalls (see /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES), you will have to enable it in the same circumstances as you would need the COMPAT4X stuff I described before.
