Did you follow instructions on the wiki about installing "KMS" ports?
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Installing_KMS_Ports

In particular, do you have "WITH_GALLIUM=yes" in your make.conf?

I don't know what KDE requires exactly, but you could try to rebuild
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati after modifying the Makefile in there, to
force the 6.14.6 version (remove the ".if ${OSVERSION}..." line and
everything between ".else" and ".endif", including them). This will
restore an X.Org driver capable of UMS.

You may have to rebuild graphics/dri too, but I don't know in what way...

Yes, at least in the Radeon case.

Don't be sorry, your report is needed so that we fix things.

Thank you!
