No. This is the driver for X11, which X will load automatically
if the supported hardware is found, or if forced to by xorg.conf
or a "partial configuration file" in the xorg.conf.d/ directory.

Only KMS-related drivers need to be loaded, via /boot/loader.conf,
/etc/rc.conf, or /etc/rc.local, whatever is the fashion now. ;-)
