hrm I am not seeing that behavior on my end:
$ pkg list drm-devel-kmod
/boot/modules/amdgpu.ko
/boot/modules/drm.ko
/boot/modules/i915kms.ko
/boot/modules/linuxkpi_gplv2.ko
/boot/modules/radeonkms.ko
/boot/modules/ttm.ko
/boot/modules/vboxvideo.ko
/boot/modules/vmwgfx.ko
/usr/local/share/licenses/drm-devel-kmod-5.2.g20200515/BSD2CLAUSE
/usr/local/share/licenses/drm-devel-kmod-5.2.g20200515/GPLv2
/usr/local/share/licenses/drm-devel-kmod-5.2.g20200515/LICENSE
/usr/local/share/licenses/drm-devel-kmod-5.2.g20200515/MIT
/usr/local/share/licenses/drm-devel-kmod-5.2.g20200515/catalog.mk
$

maybe i'm missing something though and this behavior only happens on 
systems using pkg-base?  i believe there was some discussion about 
bundling the required source to build drm-kmod locally in a similar 
fashion as linux dkms, but i'm not sure if that's progressed.

cheers,
