Try
kldload snd_pcm
cat /dev/sndstat
If that lists anything under "installed devices", try running
something that creates sound (or cat an .au file to /dev/audio).
If that works, add the line 'snd_pcm_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf
to load the module at each boot.
If any of the above fails, your hardware may be unsupported,

I haven't had to rebuild the kernel to get sound support in... well,
longer than I can rmeember. Dynamic loading should be ok nowadays.
