You can stop here. FreeBSD has no KMS/DRM drivers for virtual GPUs.
drm-kmod no longer provides vmwgfx.ko. Wayland can still be used
if GPU is passed through (making it unavailable on the host OS)
or nested within Xorg session (using its BIOS/UEFI drivers[1]).
[1] BIOS/UEFI drivers for KMS hasn't been ported yet, see
https://github.com/freebsd/drm-kmod/issues/269
Such drivers lack hardware acceleration thus not a substitute for
the missing vmwgfx.ko or DRM-based vboxvideo, virtgpu.

Please, contact kde@ team for help with Plasma. I neither maintain nor
use Plasma thus trying to help will lead to a burnout.
