And, now that sources may be installed by a port, what is the method for _just_ updating the sources?  Why do I even need to build and install the port?  Personally, I would just rather have the drm-kmod sources just imported into base and maintained there.  If I have 2 or more different checked out base src trees, how do I get the correct drm-kmod to go with them if there is only one /usr/local/sys/modules?  Do I need multiple port trees just to pull in out of tree module sources?

I applaud this effort to provide a source compile mode for DRM,
but I think it has come up a bit short on execution with numorious
problems sited.

I too am not real happy that /usr/local/src is going to get
automatically invoked from my some odd 10+ src trees that
are of various WIP's.  I need a way to easily disable this
both on a global scale, and on a per src tree way.

Rather than a default to on with an opt out mechanism perhaps
while we gain experience change this to a default to off with
an opt in mechanism?

Sadly I do not have proposed solution, but something better
than what is there now needs to be found.
