Conditionalizing on kernel version would be fine for me, but isn't this 
the date when the kernel was compiled? The alternative seems to be to 
bump __FreeBSD_version for security fixes, but this won't work for 
patches. What is the problem with ident(1)? I seems like it was invented 
for stuff like this.
