No, the port states that modules installed would be called 
radeonkms_port.ko and drm2_port.ko. The corresponding radeonkms and 
drm/drm2 modules will conflict with the ones installed from the port.

The modules installed from the port should reside in /boot/modules 
directory. You can try first removing everything about loading specific 
radeon/drm stuff from `loader.conf` to see whether Xorg figures out what 
modules it needs to load by itself.

You can also try removing BusID from xorg.conf. This option manually 
specifies where Xorg should search for your card. Xorg should find it 
out by itself and in case your specification is wrong (and in the second 
sample of dmesg it says it can't find card by that address) this will 
fix card detection.
