Actually, to the best of my knowledge, there is no such knob, not yet.
Simple workaround for now: edit /usr/ports/x11/xorg/Makefile and
comment out the line declaring the dri dependency.
# ${X11BASE}/lib/modules/dri/r200_dri.so:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/dri

I don't know what that patch is, or why you'd want/need to apply it in
order to install GNOME/KDE. Probably unnecessary.
