This shows the 'vgapci' driver has attached to your card.

Is the nvidia.ko loaded before the kernel starts? (ie do you have 
nvidia_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf?)

It would appear the latest driver should support your card (from the 
README) and the PCI ID matches what is there.

You should rebuild the nvidia port every time you update your kernel, 
and you should keep your kernel & userland in sync if at all possible.
