What are your aims ? As far as i know BSD/drm does not have memory
manager support thus modesetting is not operational on BSD as it needs
the memory manager. libdrm so far is a pretty small layer on top of
kernel interface to make userspace life easier. For testing current
BSD functionalities i believe a working 3D acceleration under X is
the best use case given that DRM is primilary designed and written
for this usage.
