I think the /sbin references in bsd.kmod.mk could go away.
mod(un)loading is only allowed for the superuser anyway, who's
expected to have /sbin in his $path.

The absolute references in bsd.port.mk are okay.  I'm not sure about
the mtree command, the remaining commands must be executable for
regular users, too.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
