Thanks, Niclas. I guess I'm mostly too lazy and  drm-kmod has been working
well just using pkg install drm-kmod to bother with making the ports. But I
reloaded r359731 and went to /usr/ports/graphics and installed
drm-current-kmod which brought in gpu-firmware-kmod  and everything worked
fine. I then installed xorg (via pkg), rebooted, ran startx, and used the
xterm window in twm to install firefox, and write this reply.
