I am running CURRENT based on yesterday evening's CVS.
I built the drm modules:
 cd /usr/src/sys/modules/drm && make && make install
This required setting NO_WERROR= and WERROR= in the makefiles for radeon
and r128. The errors are "value computed is not used".
The second fix required to get it to build was to make sure LINUX_DRM
gets undefined, this may result from my build process, but the undef is
ifdef'd for amd64.

After the module is built "successfully" and installed, kldloading it
doesn't do anything, no drm0 created.
kldload radeon.ko creates a drm0, but Xorg immediately crashes when
loading the radeon driver, bringing down the entire system.

I assume there is some endian-unsafe stuff in radeon and drm maybe?
My system is an AGP Radeon r200 on an MDD G4.

Any ideas or anything I can do to help?

Matt
