 No, ${PREFIX}/libdata is for data only, not executable files.
 Kernel modules are, in a sense, executables.
 (Well, OK, so /usr/libdata/perl/ does contain modules, but then..
  it's Perl, what would you expect ;)

 There is some merit to this.  Still, I think that new ports of kernel
 modules should, for the present, live in ${PREFIX}/libexec, until
 a new directory is created in the mtree hierarchy.  Then, a sweep
 of the ports tree will have to happen (not a big one, since there
 are not yet so many modules in ports), and all such be moved into
 the newly-created modules/ directory.
 
 On second thoughts.. why not combine the two, and create the new
 modules/ directory as ${PREFIX}/libexec/modules/ ?
 
 G'luck,
 Peter
