You need to rebuild the port when hte kernel is updated on hte system that
has the same system source files as the one that it is being installed on.

I add drm-515-kmod to PORTS_MODULES to be sure that this always happens.
Add:
PORTS_MODULES+= graphics/drm-515-kmod
This should, perhaps, be graphics/drm-510-kmod on 13-STABLE since 13.2, but
I'm not sure. Depends on the merge of some code that I thought was in
STABLE back at some point in 1.1-STABLE.
