right now, you need to update libdrm and mesa.  For libdrm, you can just
bump the version in the port to 2.4.15 and it should be fine.  For mesa,
you need to install from git until 7.6.1 is released.  7.6 has r600
support, but there were a few bugs that didn't get addressed prior to
release, which make it very annoying to use in compiz/kde4.

My normal process is:

Clone the mesa/mesa repo.

Use the following to autogen/configure.
CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS} -I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}
-L/usr/local/lib" ./autogen.sh --enable-xcb

gmake

sudo cp lib/lib* /usr/local/lib
sudo cp lib/*_dri.so /usr/local/lib/dri

That should have things working pretty well.  Note that you need
xf86-video-ati 6.12.4, which I just updated the other day.
