The pkg output indicates that /boot/modules/drm.ko is the conflicting file.

On a non-pkgbase -CURRENT system, drm.ko and drm2.ko from base are in 
/boot/kernel/, while drm.ko from drm-stable-kmod is in /boot/modules/.  
Any kernel modules from base being placed outside of /boot/kernel is not 
what I would expect for a non-pkgbase system; is there a reason pkgbase 
should not follow this rule?
