Hi!
Just a quick pointer on this.  The xorg development repo should have
support for radeon KMS, just use the xf86-video-atikms driver.  It
should also automatically load the correct kernel modules when starting
X.  See https://wiki.freebsd.org/Xorg for details on how to get the
xorg-dev repo.
Regards!
