Yes. I installed the nvidia driver from ports
(/usr/ports/X11/nvidia-driver).

No. If you use the port it even makes an entry in
/boot/loader.conf for you.
Change the 'Driver "nv"' line to 'Driver "nvidia"' and add
'Load "glx"' in the Modules section of xorg.conf.
You may need to compile and install a custom kernel without
'device agp'. Although it seems to work for me with GENERIC.
I didn't use GENERIC with anything more demanding than screen
savers though (GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8).
The screen needs to run at a depth of 16 or 24 bit.
(the default is 8).
