Depending on what versions of things you use the nvidia-driver port and 
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau may be replacements for the nv 
driver.  Honestly I'm not really sure what the xf86-video-chips
 port does, but I don't think it's related to nvidia and is perhaps for 
older video chipsets.

Something like pkg_cutleaves but you should be very careful using it.
