I went the pkg route. > just to second the build from ports message, this is what i do on my STABLE systems. i actually run "make package" inside the port directory so that I can go ahead and install the drm kmod via package which is helpful when debugging things. the build time isn't too bad, and dependencies are pretty limited, so i haven't found this to be a burden on my end. one note though, after installing the package from my local source i think lock it via pkg lock, this way when i upgrade packages in the future it doesn't try to re-install the drm-kmod with the upstream version.
