Have you tried the xorg-server-snap and dri-devel ports?  The DRM code 
was updated recently and could be to blame, although testing it with 
newer code would be an interesting data point.

Also, try loading the module at boot by putting 'sis_load="YES"' in 
/boot/loader.conf.  Does X work then?  The reason I ask is that I have a 
machine with an r128 card that displays garbage when the module is 
loaded by X but works perfectly when the module is loaded beforehand. 
I've been told that when the module is loaded should make no difference, 
but my experience tells me otherwise...

See note above about DRM being updated recently.
