And, now that sources may be installed by a port, what is the method for _just_ updating the sources?  Why do I even need to build and install the port?  Personally, I would just rather have the drm-kmod sources just imported into base and maintained there.  If I have 2 or more different checked out base src trees, how do I get the correct drm-kmod to go with them if there is only one /usr/local/sys/modules?  Do I need multiple port trees just to pull in out of tree module sources?

In some ways, installing sources for DRM is a compromise for the fact that we
can't have DRM in the base source anymore (for various reasons).  However,
virtualbox is also probably in that camp as well.
