Not necessary.

You may, if you wish, perform a repository-specific installation.

The second example below uses the --repository (-r) option of pkg-install(8) <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg-install&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-ports>. If I recall correctly, excluding the FreeBSD-ports-kmods repo when installing may cause future confusion when performing an ordinary (non-specific) upgrade.
