If you "mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers", then install should work.
But the question is "why hasn't this directory been created ?". Maybe you didn't have the "x11/xorg" metaport installed before installing nvidia-driver ? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think "WITH_NVIDIA_GL" does nothing now, it was for the git's days. I've got an nvidia card too and the only issue I noted was you must install x11/mesa-demos *before* nvidia-driver, else compile fails. (mesa-demos has "glxinfo" and "glxgears", and I've got nvidia-driver-7184)
