I think the contents of WITHOUT_MODULES should be the short names of the directories in /usrc/src/sys/modules.  So iwn instead of dev/iwn.  Also, it looks like you can only exclude modules at this top level directory granularity.  So you can exclude sound, but not a particular device under sound.

Anyway, thats based on a quick read of the Makefile.  I could be wrong, though.  I've never actually used this feature.

Hope that helps.
