That is what this framework does.  Ports install a Makefile to
/usr/local/sys/modules/<packagename>/Makefile.  That makefile is invoked during
the 'modules' stages of buildkernel and installkernel.  In the case of
drm-current-kmod, the port installs sources into subdirectories of
/usr/local/sys/modules/drm-current-kmod and installs a top-level Makefile
in /usr/local/sys/modules/drm-current-kmod/Makefile that uses bsd.subdir.mk
to recurse into those subdirectories.

Currently, LOCAL_MODULES is automatically populated to a list of the
directories in /usr/local/sys/modules and the debate is about when
LOCAL_MODULES should be auto-populated or not.
