Use the "new" means of /etc/src.conf (see "man src.conf" for
details) to prevent the building of modules.

Also a possibility - for "best control" case, combine both, e. g.
a custom kernel that only includes what you explicitely specity,
and src.conf to avoid building of modules you're intendedly not
going to need.
