I just remembered: my deinstall command didn't work as I expected since 
drm-kmod is a metaport.
Try:
$ pkg info | grep kmod
And remove anything drm-related.  Then reboot.
Now
$ make -C /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod install
should do the right thing for you, FORCE_PKG_REGISTER should NOT be 
necessary.

Then as others have pointed out, a userspace part is also needed:
$ pkg ins xf86-video-intel

Going back to 12.0 will only cause even more things to change once you 
switch to 12-STABLE if that is your intention.
