I don't think its quite that easy, but its even easier now.
% cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
% grep -i pcm *
GENERIC:# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
GENERIC:# Pcmcia and cardbus bridge support
GRUMPY:# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
GRUMPY:# Pcmcia and cardbus bridge support
NOTES:# pca: PCM audio through your PC speaker
NOTES:# gp: National Instruments AT-GPIB and AT-GPIB/TNT board, PCMCIA-GPIB
OLDCARD:# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
OLDCARD:device pcic # PCMCIA bridge
Does not appear to be a pcm device available for statically compiling
into the kernel. But never mind as its available as a kld in
/boot/kernel/
So go look in /boot/kernel/snd_* for the device which matches your
sound hardware and use kldload to give it a try something like this:
% su
# kldload snd_es137x
I have it loading at boot time now, so kldstat looks like this:
# kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 12 0xc0100000 37aa68 kernel
2 1 0xc047b000 6190 snd_es137x.ko
3 2 0xc0482000 1d320 snd_pcm.ko
4 1 0xc04a0000 4a30c acpi.ko
5 1 0xc346d000 7000 ipfw.ko
6 1 0xc34bc000 2000 blank_saver.ko
7 1 0xc3592000 18000 linux.ko
Notice snd_es137x needed snd_pcm and pulled it in too.
snd_driver is a mega-module including all the other snd modules. If
you are not sure about what sound hardware you have, then
"kldload snd_driver" and go look at the tail of dmesg to see what
hit.
Then when you know what is needed edit /boot/loader.conf. Add a line
like this as I have done for snd_es137x to load the module at boot:
snd_es137x_load="YES"
Now the head of my dmesg looks like this after boot:

FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jul 3 16:27:56 CDT 2003
dkelly@grumpy.dyndns.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GRUMPY
Preloaded elf kernel "/boot/kernel/kernel" at 0xc04ec000.
Preloaded elf module "/boot/kernel/snd_es137x.ko" at 0xc04ec21c.
Preloaded elf module "/boot/kernel/snd_pcm.ko" at 0xc04ec2cc.
Preloaded elf module "/boot/kernel/acpi.ko" at 0xc04ec378.
So all you have to do is add the right line to /boot/loader.conf. No
recompiling the kernel or anything else complex.
