Yes, it's `pkg info --pkg-message nvidia-driver` (or pkg info -D nvidia-driver).

But the pkg-message change is maybe too subtle, and could be more
attention grabbing.  Sorry for the breakage.

================================8<================================
To use these drivers, make sure that you have loaded the NVidia kernel
module, by doing

# kldload nvidia (or nvidia-modeset, see below)

or adding

nvidia_load="YES" (or nvidia-modeset_load="YES", see below)
...
Starting with version 358.09, some important functionality of the driver
has been broken out into a separate kernel module, nvidia-modeset.ko.
Users that experience hangs when starting X11 server, or observe

        (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes:
        (II) NVIDIA(0):     "NULL"

in /var/log/Xorg.0.log should replace ``nvidia'' with ``nvidia-modeset''
in their /boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.conf configuration files, depending
on how they prefer to load NVidia driver kernel module.
