You have successfully volunteered to diagnose why a graphical display fails to start when ports are built using
   WITH_NEW_XORG=1
   WITH_KMS=1
   WITH_GALLIUM=1

I still have a very custom kernel containing
   device drm
   device radeondrm
and no loadable modules, so I'll be back with a situation report after building and installing a more GENERIC kernel.
