Do you also have a /usr/src directory?

If you do, then the port is using the wrong kernel source.  You'll
need to set SRC_BASE to /usr/src-9 when building the port.

cd /usr/ports/x11/nvida-driver
make deinstall ; make clean ; make install -DSRC_BASE=/usr/src-9

Then you should be able to load the kernel module.
