  Use mesa-dri out of pkgsrc-wip instead of MesaLib, and copy the
MesaLib.buildlink3.mk file over graphics/MeasLib/buildlink3.mk.  This
gives you DRI-enabled GL libraries and driver modules.

: Any idea? (Besides, the card0 device does go away indeed)

  Which major device number does your /dev/dri/card0 use?  What's the
output of ls -l /dev/dri/card0?  (The major number should be 180; it
was changed during import.)
