We disabled the source option because it caused too much issues.
It catches people by surprise sometimes when the drm-kmod modules are 
rebuilt automatically with the kernel, even when they are not in /usr/src.
The biggest problem though is that the general workflow often is to 
rebuild the world, then the kernel, then update ports.  This means that 
the drm-kmod srources won't be updated before the kernel is built, 
causing build failures (if you need an updated drm-kmod because of 
changes in the kernel).
Generally, the recommended way is to first buildworld/buildkernel, 
install the new kernel, remove the old drm-current-kmod before booting 
the new kernel, and then rebuild drm-current-kmod from ports with the 
new kernel.
