No, I'd have to study it (I'm not the maintainer) some more. I do know
that there were plans to make LIBICONV a kernel module; but so far,
that hasn't happened.
I'd describe it as a "feature" of of the -STABLE implementation of
SMBFS. You can build modules for some of the pieces; BUT NOT ALL OF
THEM. Hence, kernel module SMBFS really doesn't exist on -STABLE.
