I've checked that in (with some additional material in the BPF section  
- it appears top-of-tree {Free,Net,Open}BSD all dynamically allocate  
BPF data structures on opens, so if they do cloning and/or have devfs,  
no configuration should be necessary as long as they all configure in  
BPF by default; I didn't see "pseudo-device bpf" in the top-of-tree  
GENERIC file for OpenBSD - did I miss something?).

No, that probably belongs in the Developer's Guide (most users won't  
be building from SVN).
