Well I'm not sure what exactly is your problem, but this is how I get my 
driver working:
/boot/loader.conf
nvidia_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"

cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver && make config
everything except AGP is selected.

I'm using and this sysctl - compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
but nvidia driver should work without problems with default 2.4.2.

And your card is too new to use legacy driver :) just go for the latest.

Also if your card is detected you should have hw.nvidia.cards.0.XX too.

can you provide dmesg and pciconf -vl ?
