Thanks for this, and for the answers from other users.

Ultimately I chose to:

pkg upgrade -f

pkg upgrade -f -r poudriere

The second command was probably to broad. In retrospect I could have 
forced just three from my poudriere repo:

drm-kmod
gpu-firmware-kmod
openzfs-kmod

As far as I can tell, just one casualty: SimpleScreenRecorder, which 
does record and save, but fails to cancel (before beginning a recording) 
or close (after saving a recording); it stops responding.

I'm now building multimedia/simplescreenrecorder with poudriere, if 
installation from this repo does not resolve the issue then I might 
repeat 'pkg upgrade -f' alone plus just the three kmods from poudriere.

(Afterthought, note to self: maybe SimpleScreenRecorder is a casualty of 
a routine upgrade that I performed a few hours earlier; there was much 
KDE stuff at the time.)
