Gary, THANKS VERY MUCH! My problem is not yet solved, but I now see what 
a patch involves, and can repeat the procedure.  It make sense now. The 
ports are really shell directories anyway, with just a makefile & some 
description files. And you gave me the filename I  needed to copy to a 
thumbdrive, move it to the other computer and copy it to the ~/drm-kmod 
directory.

This is what I have now, after successfully installing (making) the 
drm-kmod port, writing kld-list="amdgpu" in /etc/rc.conf, and with or 
without the /boot/loader line hw.syscons.disable=1, it will reboot , so 
I installed xorg, rebooted and tried to run startx. It gives:

panic: vm_page_assert_busied: page (long##'s) not exculsive busy @ 
/usr/src/sys/vm/vmpage.c

etc...

Anyway, I have not wasted my time, and hopefully not anyone else's 
either, because I learned something useful. Thanks,

Clay
