I think xf86-video-amdgpu makes the X server deal with the GPU directly, rather than going through /dev/dri and kernel mode-setting. I think drm-kmod is preferred, and xf86-video-amdgpu is deprecated. That's probably not why /dev/dri doesn't exist, though. For a new GPU, -current and the current drm-kmod are more likely to work.
