I think IB support in the generic kernel is unlikely any time soon, if
ever, but building the kernel modules only takes a few minutes.
Instructions are on the wiki in case you weren't aware:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/InfiniBand
You still have to do a buildworld to update your userland tools,
though. I've made the argument that the userland tools could and should
be built with IB support now. It adds a trivial number of files and
only modifies a few binaries.
This would allow someone to get IB support running in minutes instead of
hours, and would prevent freebsd-update from replacing ib-enabled files
with generic ones.
Regards,
Jason
