Take a look at the DTrace configuration information here:

   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/dtrace.html

And here:

   http://wiki.freebsd.org/DTrace

It looks like options KDTRACE_HOOKS may not be defined in your kernel 
configuration, but there are some other details, such as WITH_CTF=1, that 
you'll also need to make sure are appropriately set.
