Well, I saw pkg written as "pkgng" in some other section (5.2.2.2.
"PORTEPOCH") of the Porter's Handbook.  Actually, I prefer to write it
as pkg(8), but I am not sure if there has been a DocBook entity
defined for it.

I do not think that matters much.

Note this is not complete.  I believe poudriere would finally deserve
an own section in the documentation, somewhere after Tinderbox.

This is related to staging, that is why it is there.  I did not find
any section on kernel modules, for what it is worth, the expression
"kernel module" occurs only twice in the whole book -- hence I did not
feel myself motivated to start a new section on kernel modules; at
least, not for now.

I do not think this situation will change any time soon.
