According to the 6.9 release notes, the bundled Mesa was upgraded to
6.4.1. It looks we don't use the bundled Mesa, but instead use the
graphics/dri port, which is Mesa 6.2.1. Either graphics/dri should be
upgraded to 6.4.1, or the bundled Mesa should be used.

It looks like newer versions of Mesa require libdrm to be installed.
xorg-server installs libdrm.so, but not the pkg-config file Mesa
requires. I made a port for libdrm that uses the distribution from
http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/ but it would probably be better to
use the one bundled with xorg, in extras/drm/libdrm. Should this be a
separate port, or part of xorg-server or -libraries?
