Unfortunately, no.  I just rebooted the system to kill 69092.
During 'shutdown -r now', a message appeared on the console
warning that some processes would not die.  Then 'shutdown
-r now' hung the console. :(

Before rebooting I did try a number of ps and procstat commands, 69092 was

chrome: --type=gpu-process --field-trial-handle=long-string-of-number
        --gpu-preferences=long-string-with-IAs

So, it seems that drm-current-kmod may not be happy.

For the record, uname gives FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r353571
