You don't have a managed hot-plug backplane, or if you do, the
controller doesn't recognize it, doesn't support it, or you've
disabled it in the controller setup.  A supported (by the controller
itself, not the FreeBSD driver) managed backplane is the only way for
a drive insertion to automatically trigger a rebuild.  You might want
to also make sure you've got all the latest
firmware/BIOS/bootblock/setup images flashed into the controller if
you think you've got everything set up right.
