For use with e.g. www/chromium (not www/firefox), I think a combination 
of two ports is required:

www/foreign-cdm + www/linux-widevine-cdm

foreign-cdm is packaged, 
<https://www.freshports.org/www/foreign-cdm/#packages>.

linux-widevine-cdm is not packaged, must be built.

If <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=282596> is fixed, 
it'll be nice to know which commit(s) provided the fix.
