That is because they are *not* user-space applications.  They are
kernel-space code.

There is a PORTS_MODULES variable documented for make.conf(5) which
is intended for just this problem.  I haven't used it, though, and
offhand I can't find the macro definition for it.

Sort of...

Thanks for everybody that has helped me!

It turns out I had a couple of rc.d scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d  
that were doing kldloads: rtc.sh and kqemu.sh - one of these was  
causing the panic. It might be worthwhile adding to the world rebuild  
doc a suggestion to grep kldload /usr/local/etc/rc.d and disable/ 
remove these services... Or, simply moving /usr/local/etc/rc.d might  
also be worthwhile test.

Always the most simple of solutions that kicks you in the ass, isn't  
it? =)
