Assuming you have a populated /usr/ports,

what's on my system is
drm-510-kmod-5.10.163_9
and
drm-kmod-20220907_2

The latter is likely a meta-port that tries
to select the right drm-XXX-kmod port.

The fix appears to have worked,BUT
I have not received a prompt to recompile
all applications that the freebsd.org
instructions for a binary upgrade indicated
would happen at this stage.

First rule of updating is that the kernel
and third-party modules must agree.  This
means that drm-*-kmod needs to be recompiled
if you update your kernel.

I normally upgrade applications via
 
git -C /usr/ports pull [updating ports collection]
synth status        [checking what's needed at the moment]
synth prepare-system   [updating available packages]
pkg upgrade -r Synth   [installing the new stuff]
 
and have done none of these since updating the OS except
for a synth status that tells me nothing needs upgrades
and 13 that wanted rebuilds or replacements
before the OS upgrade still do.
 
Do I have to trigger the rebuild somehow or can I update
the ports collection without screwing up?

I know nothing about synth.
