You can check the kern.module_path sysctl. By default it looks like
/boot/kernel (or whatever kernel you boot) comes before /boot/modules.
I think (but haven't checked) that everything would have been fine if
wireguard-kmod was still installed.

net/wireguard/Makefile has:
RUN_DEPENDS+=3D ${KMODDIR}/if_wg.ko:net/wireguard-kmod
so the package should have a dependency on net/wireguard-kmod iff
if_wg.ko is not present in the target FreeBSD version.
