You could always use MODULES_OVERRIDE to specify which modules you'd
like to build.

You'll still be recompiling the kernel itself but without *many*
unneeded modules.



Find for example a snippet from my /etc/make.conf:

KERNCONF=DAM
MODULES_OVERRIDE=geom/geom_label geom/geom_mirror aio zfs krpc opensolaris
