If you want ATI kms you need the very latest FreeBSD CURRENT.  Start by
looking at the handbook for information on how to do this.  See for
instance
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html
.
Secondly, you need the patch to update xorg and mesa ports.  It was sent
as a CFT on the mailing list earlier today, and is also avalable at
http://people.freebsd.org/~zeising/xorg-mesaupdate.diff .
Lastly, add WITH_NEW_XORG= and possibly also WITH_GALLIUM= to
/etc/make.conf to compile the new xorg stack, and then compile xorg.
Hope this works for you!
Regards!
