There's a PR with a patch which removes the dependency from the linuxolator. My intend is to give it a try (and commit it). Maybe this week, if time permits. Regarding the FreeBSD compatibility options: if you don't run software from those releases, you don't need them. Entries in DEFAULTS are supposed to render any kernel useless if removed. So I don't think the FreeBSD compatibility options are good candidates for DEFAULTS.
