I am trying to understand the impact of distributing ports with

If I understand correctly, some ports, when installed with pkg,
extract sources, which then supposed to be compiled with the kernel.
For instance, drm-current-kmod extracts lots of files into
/usr/local/sys/modules/
hrm I am not seeing that behavior on my end:
$ pkg list drm-devel-kmod
/boot/modules/amdgpu.ko
/boot/modules/drm.ko
/boot/modules/i915kms.ko
/boot/modules/linuxkpi_gplv2.ko
/boot/modules/radeonkms.ko
/boot/modules/ttm.ko
/boot/modules/vboxvideo.ko
/boot/modules/vmwgfx.ko
/usr/local/share/licenses/drm-devel-kmod-5.2.g20200515/BSD2CLAUSE
/usr/local/share/licenses/drm-devel-kmod-5.2.g20200515/GPLv2
/usr/local/share/licenses/drm-devel-kmod-5.2.g20200515/LICENSE

/usr/local/share/licenses/drm-devel-kmod-5.2.g20200515/catalog.mk
$
maybe i'm missing something though and this behavior only happens on
systems using pkg-base? i believe there was some discussion about
bundling the required source to build drm-kmod locally in a similar
fashion as linux dkms, but i'm not sure if that's progressed.
Have a look at this commit (comments and the pkg-plist):
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D20990
Also here
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/master/graphics/drm-current-kmod/pkg-plist
There is also the following comment in an email titled "drm drivers
project report (week of May 4th)" which "Emmanuel Vadot" posted to
freebsd-current and freebsd-x11:

I am not sure about drm-devel-kmod but I can confirm that a binary
drm-current-kmod does contain sources and installs them when the port is
installed. You can see those files in the commit I posted above.
