No, your are wrong. Take a look in src/sys/conf/files:

Line 199-201:

file net/bsd-comp.c                     ppp_bsdcomp
file net/ppp-deflate.c                  ppp_deflate
file net/zlib.c                         ppp_deflate

You see that this three files are only included if you use this two options
in your kernel-config.
