There are drivers in the ports collection:
www.freebsd.org/ports
nvidia-driver-1.0.4365_1

Also, www.nvidia.com has the binaries on their site.
Here is another useful site:  
FreeBSD on Laptops
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/laptop/article.html

freebsd-mobile -- Mobile computing with FreeBSD

Hope this helps.
