I installed this with pkg. I'm not sure why I'm getting an error upgrading? How could I have installed it to begin with? Same kernel, it's not custom on this machine.

this solved the problem.

# kldload linux64.ko
# pkg upgrade

Not sure what the solution is, but if someone runs across the same problem and finds this report it's an easy fix I guess.
