Of course not. If you want any 3D (not 2D) accel better install
nvidia-driver. Well, for 2D accel I'd still suggest it because with
nv(4x) you'll not have XVIDEO/RENDER accel on your card and nouveau(4x)
is slowly bitrotting in our ports.

While I'm not sure why update is delayed you can try latest
nvidia-driver with my patch (attached) in the meantime. But I've only
tested it on /head at amd64 + Xserver 1.9.0. Also note, I removed VDPAU
bits deliberately, they're gonna be provided by libvdpau port
(cf. ports/150368 et al.), the distfile doesn't have vdpau*.h headers,
anyway.
