I have determined what to use and not use by both reviewing the dmesg output and doing a whatis on each module. Running whatis on each module seems to take forever but it is how I did it. Maybe someone else knows of a quicker way.
Here is the list of modules I have included in the MODULES_OVERRIDE directive. accf_data accf_http acpi agp aio amd aout bios cam cd9660 cd9660_iconv cp crypto cryptodev dc dcons dcons_crom fdc fdescfs geom i2c io libiconv linux lpt mac_biba mac_bsdextended mac_ifoff mac_lomac mac_mls mac_none mac_partition mac_portacl mac_seeotheruids mac_stub mac_test mem mii netgraph pccard ppbus ppi pps random rc rc4 re rndtest safe sem sound speaker splash syscons sysvipc ubsa ufs ugen uhid unionfs usb vesa vinum zlib I've probably included more modules than I will ever use, but I think it gives you an idea. You will *definitely* want to modify the modules to your specific hardware.
