You are right, there's a problem with at least the installed
xf86-video-ati version:

[   127.317] (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ati_drv.so
[   127.317] (II) Module ati: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[   127.317] 	compiled for 1.12.4, module version = 6.14.6

The version is xf86-video-ati 6.14.6, which is part of the
non-WITH_NEW_XORG case. The new_xorg repository should have version
7.2.0 available.

Can you reinstall that driver and make sure the correct version is picked?

As long as you have "enabled: yes" in the repository configuration, pkg
will use it.

Here's what I get when I search for xf86-video-ati on FreeBSD 10:
$ pkg search xf86-video-ati
xf86-video-ati-6.14.6_3
xf86-video-ati-7.2.0_3
