Sure; on -current systems (minus those ports not using the
a.out executable format) you can find them in /usr/lkm; the
sources (of their `glue') live in src/sys/lkm.

The size of the kernel image itself will be reduced, but
if you plan to make regular use of an LKM you're better off
with hardwiring it into your kernel configuration, as there
will be at least _some_ overhead due to initialization
functions etc.
