The LKM mechanism has been replaced by a newer kernel-based linker called
KLD.  If you absolutely must use LKM, you can add it as an option to your
kernel config but I would urge you to move to the new mechanism.  There
are plenty of examples of how to build KLD modules in
/usr/share/examples/kld and /usr/src/sys/modules.
