For AGP problem you could try AGP gart included in the
nvidia-driver port in place of FreeBSD AGP gart.

Turn off FreeBSD AGP gart (in the kernel or just as module)
and install nvidia-driver port with WITH_NVIDIA_HACKS=yes
option.

P.S. nvidia-driver port required (as default) linux-base,
check the README.Linux if you don't want it.
