can you post your dmesg output from when you've set 
kld_list="/boot/modules/amdgpu.ko"?  also, please verify that your user 
is in the "video" group.  but from what you've described it sounds like 
a conflict is popping up between the base amdgpu.ko and the one 
available in the ports tree.

also, please ensure you are booting in "classic" BIOS mode and not UEFI, 
IIRC there are some issues surrounding amdgpu with UEFI - i don't have 
that hardware tho so can't elaborate.
