As far as I can see, that would indicate that the build/install of
drm-kmod failed somehow. What do you get from

   pkg info 'drm*'

?

Those are firmware to potentially load for some hardware versions, not
actual drivers - from the gpu-firmware-kmod port/package, I believe it
gets pulled in when you install drm-kmod.

The steps you showed in another message should be enough, but you can
redo them just to check that it works OK. There was some strangeness
there, I don't think you should need FORCE_PKG_REGISTER if you do
'make deinstall' before 'make install', so try doing *only* this:

   cd /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod
   make deinstall clean install

And watch out for any errors, as Daniele pointed out.

Well, installing it should be OK, but it shouldn't be loaded in this
case unless xorg.conf says so - i.e. "vm finance", remove xorg.conf if
you have it (normally in /usr/local/etc/X11 and/or
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d) - it generally causes more harm than
good.

Unless it's the one in base, from /boot/kernel...
