This seems like almost the exact issue I had a few days ago. See 
Tomasz's reply to my post 'drm-kmod kills FreeBSD'.

Once I built graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod-4.16.g20201016 from ports, X 
worked well from then on. The one from graphics/drm-kmod crashed my 
system instantly. /boot/kernel/i915kms.ko didn't crash anything, but 
also didn't work.
