Actually it supports loadable sound modules.  Or at least loadable sound
modules work just fine, they are simply not connected to the build.

I've been doing

   cd /sys/modules/sound
   make obj
   make
   make install

right after buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld cycle, and
then everything worked as intended.

Why those modules are not connected to the build is a different story.
