I think adding them to the apache is OK, as long as apache fails
gracefully if they are not present in the kernel.

Yes, I wonder that too. Personally I think it might be a good idea to
just bind accf_http and accf_data into GENERIC, as I always add them
into kernel configuration at my company... My $0.02

No, GENERIC should not be bloated when it can be effortlessly loaded
as a KLD.
