one of the best kept secrets on freebsd-questions@ (and in the
handbook) is the fact that kernel build is a requirement in just a
few special cases. Most questions that yield rebuild-your-kernel
answers could (and probably should)
be answered with "RTFM: kldload(8)".
that said, maybe the answer you got is right.
