If I understand how this stuff works, you shouldn't install both. I 
think xf86-video-amdgpu makes the X server deal with the GPU directly, 
rather than going through /dev/dri and kernel mode-setting. I think 
drm-kmod is preferred, and xf86-video-amdgpu is deprecated.

That's probably not why /dev/dri doesn't exist, though. For a new GPU, 
-current and the current drm-kmod are more likely to work.
