In other kernel config files we include crypto explicitly, but with a
less snarky comment (and in the device section), e.g. amd64's GENERIC:

# The crypto framework is required by IPSEC
device		crypto			# Required by IPSEC

That said, I think it would be better to instead move this up into the
existing list of pseudo devices that includes 'device ether', etc.

I've put a strawman up at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16775
