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).
