Ran into this problem a few days ago. It seems that portupgrade of
XFree86 or XFree86-libraries (using portupgrade) would overwrite the DRI
specific libs installed by drm-kmod. It looks like DRI is loaded and
working properly, but it's not. 

Check your XFree86.8.log or what XFree stays when it starts up.

XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)

It should also say some stuff about a DRI something after Version
instead of XFree86 4.2.1 or something.

What I did to get it to work, was portupgrade XFree86, then make install
in /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod without using portupgrade.

Also did you check the ATI Radeon specific messages with the drm-kmod?
