They should but they don't. However, I didn't try the official packages. I am building my own with poudriere. drm-fbsd12.0-kmod compiled with poudriere on 12.1-RELEASE-p3 and installed on the same system (tried both, the official kernel/base and one compiled on my own) - didn't work, and same for 12-STABLE. However, Hans Petter Selasky sent me a 13-CURRENT kernel/world to try and the drm-fbsd12.0-kmod I compiled on 12-STABLE worked with that without issues. Either the port is very fragile and I did something incorrectly or the port became dependent on some changes in the latest kernel ABI, at least for amdgpu (vega10 firmware modules in my case).
