You are supposed to > use the PORTS_MODULES make variable. PORTS_MODULES is suboptimal because it forces you to rebuild the entire port when you build a new kernel. If you keep your ports tree up to date regularly (eg cron job) this can mean the version of the KLD changes between kernel builds which is a bit of a POLA violation IMO. You also end up with part of your kernel build outside of /usr/obj which make be a problem if you build for multiple machines.
