The modules are available in 12.x, 14.x and main, but are obviously
missing in 13.x:

$ curl -O https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/13.3-RELEASE/kernel.txz
$ tar -ztf kernel.txz |grep hpt
./boot/kernel/hptiop.ko
$ curl -O https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/amd64/14.1-RELEASE/kernel.txz
$ tar -ztf kernel.txz |grep hpt
./boot/kernel/hptrr.ko
./boot/kernel/hptnr.ko
./boot/kernel/tcphpts.ko
./boot/kernel/hpt27xx.ko
./boot/kernel/hptiop.ko
./boot/kernel/hptmv.ko

And after running "make buildworld buildkernel" for stable/13 (amd64)
on a stable/14 (amd64) system the modules are missing as well.
