The GENERIC kernel does not have bpf compiled in. You have to compile your
own.

Don't have space for the kernel sources??? They're not _that_ big... The
space needed for the source code and compile is probably less than 50
megabytes. You don't need to install the whole FreeBSD source tree to
compile a kernel, you just need the kernel sources. 

I don't know of any "we'll compile a kernel so you don't have to" type of
services.
