Driver is already in base system. Add `device ipmi` to your kernel
config and rebuild it.

I also see there's ipmi.ko kernel module (didn't try it), so maybe he
doesn't need to rebuild the kernel.

Is this the "IPMI" you're talking about?
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ipmi&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE&format=html

If it's the case, re-compile your kernel with the line "device ipmi".

Alternatively, you can compile smbus and ipmi as modules (if not already
done) and load them:

# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/i2c/smbus && make && make install
# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ipmi && make && make install
# kldload smbus
# kldload ipmi
