I guess because on NetBSD, it's not missing. When I compile emacs29 or
wip/emacs-git, I see

  Does Emacs have dynamic modules support?                yes

So if that doesn't happen on Illumos, I'd try to find out why the
defaults are different there.

Feel free to explicitly enable it though if it helps!
