Hello.
In my case,
-x \*-kmod-\[0-9gv\] is added to portmaster because all packages that
install kernel modules contain -kmod in their names. This excludes *-kmod.
And when they are upgraded, I won't be installing them right away.
Then to install them I write PORTS_MODULES in src.conf.
PORTS_MODULES=\
graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod\
graphics/gpu-firmware-kmod
They are created at the same time as the kernel.
Best regards.
