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.
