Maybe it would be helpful to add libGL as a dependency to
the nvidia-driver port.  That means, when the libGL port
is updated, the nvidia-driver port will be rebuilt, too,
because it depends on the libGL port, which means that
the nvidia-driver's library will always override the one
installed by the libGL port.
