Well,  upon further inspection I think these are compiled into the kernel.  
Looking at /var/run/dmesg.boot (clipping attached) it looks like fwohci sees 
my controller but can't map the memory.

I may have  a controller chip too old, RIOCH RC551 instead of RC552 
referenced in the fwohci manual page.

You should add those to the kernel config file, and rebuilt the kernel, or 
you can just load the modules (as root) with kldload.  The Handbook would be 
a great guide for you.
