balanga, that's probably not drm-kmod but gpu-firmware-kmod, for the file count that is. You don't actually need it, just the relevant kmod files for your hardware. The meta package for intel is gpu-firmware-intel-kmod and from this the flavour that matches your hardware.

Note that installing drm-kmod without the gpu-firmware to match will result in a black screen after boot or fallback to framebuffer if you are lucky.
 
I have always run pkg install drm-kmod because that is what I thought I needed to do. I never understood why I received so many files, but since things worked I didn't pursue things.
 
If you don't want all the gpu firmware installed, check in kldstat(8) which one is loaded, delete all the others. On a system that does not yet have any GPU firmware installed, now that the required firmware has been identified, proceed to install that specific firmware only.

E.g.:
Code: 
 % kldstat
17    1 0xffffffff84382000    312e0 amdgpu_renoir_asd_bin.ko
18    1 0xffffffff843b4000     c4e0 amdgpu_renoir_ta_bin.ko
19    1 0xffffffff843c1000    1fbe8 amdgpu_renoir_dmcub_bin.ko
20    1 0xffffffff843e1000     7560 amdgpu_renoir_pfp_bin.ko
21    1 0xffffffff843e9000     6560 amdgpu_renoir_me_bin.ko
22    1 0xffffffff843f0000     4560 amdgpu_renoir_ce_bin.ko
23    1 0xffffffff843f5000     bcd8 amdgpu_renoir_rlc_bin.ko
24    1 0xffffffff84401000    43800 amdgpu_renoir_mec_bin.ko
25    1 0xffffffff84445000     64e0 amdgpu_renoir_sdma_bin.ko
26    1 0xffffffff8444c000    64aa0 amdgpu_renoir_vcn_bin.ko
Code: 
% pkg info | grep renoir

Then you need besides graphics/drm-66-kmod to identify (using kldstat(8)) which firmware the gpu needs and install only that firmware. There are those listed below:
Code: 
 % cd /usr/ports/graphics/gpu-firmware-intel-kmod

 % make flavors-package-names
gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-skylake-20250109.1500068

I wish I understood what I was supposed to do with this instruction.

Do I need to install ports to get my graphics working properly?
 
balanga, my suggestion is doing one of these:
  • Install drm-kmod and be done (accept that it will install lots of firmware packages you don't need)
  • Install the drm-*-kmod package you want (61, 66 or latest) plus gpu-firmware-intel-kmod (will install extra intel firmware but a lot less than the above)
  • Install the drm-*-kmod package you want (61, 66 or latest) plus the specific gpu-firmware-intel-kmod packagr for your hardware (match the flavour name your hardware).
I prefer the middle option, because if my specific firmware package gets split in the future there's less chance a pkg update misses it. But feel free to do whichever.

As for not needing the gpu-firmware package, if your hardware doesn't need firmware you don't need to install it has was said.
