It may be related to the open issue from the errata:

drm-kmod packages compiled on FreeBSD 14.1 result in the text console being inoperative when the kernel module is loaded. Recompiling the package from the ports tree will restore the lost functionality. This issue will also resolve itself after the FreeBSD 14.1 EoL, when packages for 14-STABLE will start being built on FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE.
