Not necessary.

You may, if you wish, perform a repository-specific installation.

The second example below uses the --repository (-r) option of pkg-install(8). If I recall correctly, excluding the FreeBSD-ports-kmods repo when installing may cause future confusion when performing an ordinary (non-specific) upgrade.

root@minimal-kde-pre:~ # pkg install -nU nvidia-drm-kmod
