I've never seen /dist. It doesn't belong to the FreeBSD base
system. I'd guess that you can safely remove it.
/lkm is empty because LKMs are obsolete. They have been
replaced with the KLD system. KLDs are located in /modules.
If you don't need old LKMs for compatibility, you can safely
remove /lkm, too (or just let it stick around, it doesn't
hurt).
