You can place a list in /etc/src.conf like this: PORTS_MODULES= emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod sysutils/fusefs-kmod x11/nvidia-driver which will cause those modules to be built and installed with all the proper matching stuff at the same time as buildkernel and installkernel. This feature has existed for a while, but has had "issues." Thanks to a team effort it's a lot more robust now, and ready for prime time (in HEAD, and the -STABLE branches for now, soon to be in 9.1-RELEASE). Enjoy, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
