Most likely you are not using those modules in your configuration. You 
will only get a complaint from nginx if they are referenced in your 
configuration file(s) and not loaded.

Since you built nginx from FreeBSD ports, you can look at 
/usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf-dist and it will show all the modules 
that have been built and need to be loaded dynamically if used.
