*Even today in 16-current the pkg-message file for 
nvidia-drm-kmod-580.105.08 says :*

Modesetting must be enabled to use nvidia-drm.ko for graphics. This can be done
by setting the modeset sysctl, the equivalent of the modeset kernel parameter
on Linux.

hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1

This must be set before loading nvidia-drm.ko, most easily done by placing the
above in /boot/loader.conf.
