It's definitely supported on all R100 through R700 GPUs (including
yours) in 8-stable when using Mesa 7.6.1 from ports.  You're only on
Mesa 7.4.4.

Make sure you read the relatively recent Mesa entry
in /usr/ports/UPDATING so you know what knob to set in /etc/make.conf
and then you can update Mesa and libdrm.
