Nvidia are a good option. They supply their own (binary only) driver for 
FreeBSD that provides full OpenGL hardware acceleration. I have a fairly low 
end card, a Geforce 256 DDR (well, it was high spec at the time), and for me 
their driver is fast and reliable.

The binary onlyness may be of concern to some but it doesn't really bother me. 
FWIW, I can imaging the code to program a GPU to do hardware assisted OpenGL 
is somewhat complex and would probably mean about as much to me in vi as the 
binary version does.
