I myself haven't used graphics/drm-*-kmod, but looking into
graphics/drm-kmod/Makefile, minimum supportted version is 13.2.
If you really need to use DRM, you should update base at least to 13.2
first.
And if running nvidia GPUs on 13.2, you would need
graphics/nvidia-drm-510-kmod, too.

Moreover, 13.1 is already EOL'ed [1]. Using 13.1 is STRONGLY
DISCOURAGED.
