I have previously attempted to upgrade my desktop to 13.1 and could not get my mate dm to start. This is the GPU I have installed:

These are the packages installed on FreeBSD-12.4 and I have a desktop that works. What additional or different packages do I require for 13.2?
 
After a major version upgrade you need to reinstall every port/package. You will be told to do this after the second invocation of freebsd-update install.
 
The packages on the repositories are still being built for 13.1 but as far as I know this shouldn't impact the NVidia driver kernel module. But in case it fails to load, spewing out a message about having the wrong kernel version, just build x11/nvidia-driver-390 from ports. FreeBSD 13.1 is nearly EoL (end of July) and packages will get build for 13.2 after that.
 
I intend to go to 13.2. My previous attempt was to 13.1. I just did not have the time to resolve the problem back then.
