You're right, the pkg query should have been:
[10-0] % pkg query -x '[%R] %n %v' 'drm.*-kmod$|nvidia' | column -t
[FreeBSD-kmods]  drm-61-kmod         6.1.128.1403000_5
[FreeBSD]        nvidia-driver       570.172.08.1402000
[FreeBSD]        nvidia-drm-61-kmod  570.172.08.1402000_2
[FreeBSD]        nvidia-drm-kmod     570.172.08
[11-0] %

But as it introduces additional complexities on maintaining, which could affect
mistakes on updating, I don't want it to be landed unless it is really, really
mandatory. So waiting for reply.
QUOTE_END

I quite agree.

However, is there any indication that the proprietary Nvidia part(s), IIRC: the
blob, is in need of a FreeBSD minor-version specific (i.e. kernel specific)
build? AFAIK, the Nvidia drivers do not use the Linux KPI shim layer and are
therefore not likely to be (much less) 'kernel-sensitive' over various minor
versions of the same major version (~ FreeBSD major branche).
