Where is the source?

I think they do provide packages actually, meaning you don't have to bother
with sources or ports at all!

You can follow the instructions at this forum thread:
https://pcbsd.org/showthread.php?t=22216

In summary:
1. $ sudo pkg delete nvidia-driver
2. $ sudo pkg install nvidia-driver-304
3. Edit /boot/loader.conf to add a new line containing nvidia_load="YES"
4. $ sudo kldload nvidia
5. $ sudo nvidia-xconfig
6. Rebuild the grub menus: PC-BSD Control Panel -> Boot Manager ->
Emergency Services Menu -> Rebuild GRUB Menu
7. Reboot


Further help with installing packages on PCBSD can be found in the PCBSD
10.1.1 handbook here:
ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/handbook/10.1.1/pcbsd10.1.1_handbook_en_ver10.1.1.pdf

Regards,
Ben
