: What about third-party loadable modules?

Yes.  They must be compiled against the kernel, just like modules
provided by freebsd.

Yes.  That's right.  One of the things that drove me nuts when I
started at my current job at Timing Solutions was the inability to
build the modules outside of a freebsd tree w/o abadoning bsd.kmod.mk.
I've fixed that, with Bruce's help, and I'll be committing the changes 
back to FreeBSD shortly.  I like working for a Open Source friendly
company. :-)
