Well, only the ports that build kernel modules need it, as far as I
know.  This is because in FreeBSD we do not install the 'full' kernel
headers anywhere during installworld.

Maybe we could adopt the Linux solution and dump them somewhere in a
versioned directory. :)

It would hopefully error out.  If you look in /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk,
you will see this at the bottom:

   .if !defined(SYSDIR) || !exists(${SYSDIR}/kern/) || \
       !exists(${SYSDIR}/conf/kmod.mk)
   .error Unable to locate the kernel source tree. Set SYSDIR to override.
   .endif

So, setting SYSDIR to the correct directory is also a possible solution.
