Add the following lines to your kernel config:

device scbus
device ses
device aacp

For your second question, the answer is 'no'.  The aac firmware talks in
terms of logical block commands.  'CAMifying' the driver would mean that
block requests from the filesystem would be translated into SCSI
commands by CAM and then converted back to block commands by the aac
driver.  Why bother?
