Thanks for your answer Roland. 

I am running 7.2-stable :
[beni at bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ uname -v
FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #3: Mon Oct  5 10:30:23 EDT 2009     
kris at pcbsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PCBSD.i386
[beni at bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$

I loaded both the drm and radeon modules via /boot/loader.conf (drm_load="YES" 
and radeon_load="YES") and both modules get now loaded at boot time :
[beni at bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ kldstat -v | grep drm
 5    2 0xc0f54000 173c0    drm.ko
[beni at bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ kldstat -v | grep radeon
 6    1 0xc0f6c000 609c0    radeon.ko
                 5 vgapci/radeon
[beni at bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$

But still nothing with the xserver... I changed the driver in xorg.conf Device 
Section to radeon and radeonhd, but all i get is :
[beni at bsdaddict /usr/home/beni]$ tail /var/log/messages

But you use the xf86-video-ati driver and not the xf86-video-radeonhd driver ?
