The wiki section is correct: adding radeonkms and the relevant firmwares
to /boot/loader.conf is only required when you want them available
during boot (to have a larger console).

Otherwise, the kernel module and firmwares are loaded automatically
during X startup. Do you confirm that, if you boot without loading
radeonkms, X fails to load the kernel module and reports no screen found?
