Installing both drm-legacy-kmod and the new xf86-video-ati-legacy
appears to work.  It may be a good idea to add a pkg-message to
the drm-legacy-kmod port to point to the xf86-video-ati-legacy
port; otherwise, one may have no clue as to which port to install.

An entry in ports/UPDATING may also be appropriate.

Thanks for putting up with my harping on the demise of
sys/drm2 and the issues with -legacy.  Someday my 4 year
old hardware will be replaced, but it works and I have no
funds to do the replacement.
