Most of Netgraph changes were merged to RELENG_6. ng_nat changes were
merged 3 months ago. Latest ng_car is not merged, but for FreeBSD 5-6.x
it is present as net/ng_car port.

Latest 4.3 and 5.0 mpd are able to determine actual system capabilities
at the build time. To have ng_car support on FreeBSD 5-6.x you should
install mpd from ports with setting ng_car checkbox.
