No. The usbd daemon only decides on what to run in userland after the
device has been attached to.

What would be possible is store the information on what drivers to
attach to what in a kernel loadable module that can be unloaded at any
time.

However, that approach opens up a whole can of worms: How to decide on
which driver to use, how to make sure that the kernel does not fall over
while the kernel module is not loaded (in between the 'kldunload' and
'kldload'), etc.
