I have installed the nvidia driver a few times and it has worked, but
I've gone to the nvidia website and followed their directions, rather
than using the port.

Have you read nvidia's README at
http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-7676.html ?

In the default version distributed by nVidia, you have to disable
FreeBSD's AGP support or the nvidia driver will refuse to load.  I
don't know if the port builds it with that configuration or not.
