That's the package version of the meta-port.  Did that compile and 
install the port drm-515-kmod?  (For FreeBSD 14.)  That's the key -- 
you have to compile and install the kernel module.

I do that without poudriere, just cd into the port directory[1] and run 
"make install".  I did that the other day, for about the same problem 
you have: I upgraded 13.2 to 13.3, installed the DRM kmod package, it 
panicked during boot.  I deleted that package, compiled and installed 
it from the port (drm-510-kmod for 13), and that worked.  I'm typing 
this on that system now.


[1] For FreeBSD 14, /usr/ports/graphics/drm-515-kmod.  In FreeBSD 14, 
portsnap is gone, so /usr/ports has to be the git repository.
