I do not agree. I now compile the kernel without agp, but I used to
compile with it until recently and never had such problems. Iirc,
nvidia-drivers do not care about which version (i mean, freebsd's or
nvidia's one) you have of agp.ko. It even give you the choice of which
you want to use. (only if you load the native agp in module, not if it
is statically compiled). That's in the X configuration file, something
like NvAgp, and should be set to 0,1 or 2 (it's explained in the
documentation).
I'd like to add that the port nvidia-driver works just fine.
