See vlan(4) and ifconfig(8). Excerpt from vlan(4):
"Each vlan interface is created at runtime using interface cloning.  This
is most easily done with the ifconfig(8) create command or using the
cloned_interfaces variable in rc.conf(5)."
So loading if_vlan / compiling into kernel isn't sufficient.

Also look at http://people.freebsd.org/~arved/vlan/vlan_en.html (it's  
slightly outdated).
