That looks like enabled except for 3, which seems like a clue that not
very many platforms are used with FreeBSD ports, but maybe I'm
misreading.

Perhaps, but
1) On which platforms did you enable and test, and how did it go in general?
2) Did you measure it to be faster?
3) Did you run the included selftests and do they still pass? Did you
build things that use it and run their tests?
4) Do you understand how the jit interacts with paxctl? For guile
3.0, there is a compiler, and we have, so far, had to disable
MPROTECT. I wonder what your experience was.
