Installing drm-xxx-kmod via packages (pkg) have to be used with caution.

FreeBSD is building packages with the last supported release, that means it
builds for 14.0 packages until its EoL. 

For a kernel related package such as drm-xxx-kmod it can cause a panic because
the kernel mismatches.

In your position i would build drm-61-kmod from ports as you have described:

Making sure that ports is up to date and that the kernel source (/usr/src)
matches with your current running kernel and then compile drm-61-kmod.

The GPU-firmware can be installed via pkg without any problems.
