An old nfs module would almost certainly not work with the new
kernel without at least a recompile. I'd definitely recommend
keeping the major modules compiled in rather then dynamically
loaded, just on principle. In fact, in all my time at BEST and
all my time playing with FreeBSD, I have *never* used any
dynamic module except for the linux compatibility thingy, and
even that was only a fluke. If you can compile it in, compile
it in.
But, keep a watch on it. I didn't have an SMP box to test
the new VM stuff on so it's possible there's something going
on there.
