 Try this:
 
 1) use kernel AGPGART (either compile it in the kernel, or put 
 agp_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf
 2) do:
 	cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
 	make -DWITH_FREEBSD_AGP install clean
 	reboot
 3) after rebooting:
 	kldload nvidia
 	sysctl -w hw.nvidia.registry.UpdateKernelAGP=0
 	startx
 
 If it still doesn't work remove agp from the kernel if you compiled it in 
 and remove agp_load line from the /boot/loader.conf. After booting with a 
 new kernel try "make install clean" instead of the above make command. 
 That will use NVidia's AGP driver instead of the one from the kernel.
