Hmm,

This seems to work ok.  For example, if I kldload ng_ether 
or ng_pppoe when nothing is loaded, netgraph is auto-loaded.

I can even run ngctl(1), and ng_socket & netgraph are magically 
loaded.

I'm running with an April 3 kernel (I reverted it because kernels 
over the past few days have dysfunctional shared library support).

Perhaps the problem is only in -stable (I know there are some funny 
problems in -stable when for example options NETGRAPH is in the 
kernel and you try to kldload ng_xxx) ?
