nanobsd contains nothing but a cut down FreeBSD distribution, anything
you want in addition to that you must put on there yourself.

The makefile contains a target called Customize where you can do that
sort of stuff.

The point of nanobsd is simply to create a tool for putting FreeBSD
on small media for embedded computers.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
