Grab a copy of /usr/src/ that includes this change, and then 
rebuild the world (i.e: rebuild the base system, rebuild the kernel, 
and then install both). I normally follow this guide when doing that: 

https://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/doc/handbook/makeworld.html

Otherwise, you might be able to pick up an installer / snapshot that 
already includes the change you want to test. I don't think it is 
usually recommended to try build the change in isolation from the 
rest of the base system.
