        I am trying to upgrade a system running:

FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #0 r365372: Sun Sep  6 10:51:26 EDT 2020 amd64

        Per this discussion, I cannot compile the kernel because
drm-current-kmod is out-of-date.
        When I try to upgrade drm-current-kmod (r561457) I get:

===> drm-current-kmod-5.4.62.g20210113 not supported on older CURRENT, no
kernel support.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/graphics/drm-current-kmod

        Huh?
        What is my path forward? (That does not involve reinstalling the
OS.)

Either

upgrade the kernel without the drm PORTS_ whatever thing → upgrade drm-current-kmod → add back the PORTS_thing if you really want it → upgrade kernel again

or

remove the IGNORE line in the port's Makefile → upgrade drm-current-kmod → upgrade the kernel.

You have discovered precisely why this (building kmods from ports when building the kernel itself) is not a very good feature :)
