I've noted this question in the nvidia-driver port FAQ:

<faq>
Q: X fails to start, and during bootup time I get error messages
   like the following:

    nvidia0: Unable to allocate NVIDIA register resource.

   or:

    nvidia0: Unable to allocate interrupt resource.

A: The system bios has not properly setup your graphics card; FreeBSD
   can't currently setup PCI devices that the BIOS leaves unconfigured.
   Please uncheck "PNP-OS" in your system bios.
</faq>

Try it.
