This is fixed in -current by placing external modules in /boot/modules and the kernel along with it's locally compiled modules in /boot/kernel. My suggestion would be to insure that the loader knows about /boot/modules and start advertising it now for things like DRI since that moves us closer to current without a hugh POLA violation. The fact that modules stays in /modules is counter intutitive for all that it's a nice behavior. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
