Thank you Simon,

I've rebuilt world and kernel and installed them, then I've rebuilt if_ndis.ko too:

% kldload /modules/if_ndis.ko
link_elf: symbol malloc undefined
kldload: can't load /modules/if_ndis.ko: Exec format error
There was still a malloc() and I've replace malloc() with kmalloc() once
in if_ndis.c. Rebuilt and installed.
kldload doesn't fail to load, but it kernel panic. :-(
Bye,               \fer

I hope that this report can be useful.
You shouldn't compile a module with newer sources than your kernel 
actually is.  please make sure that your kernel and your modules are 
compiled from the same sources.
