Strangely, despite all of the talk about making sure you have compat5x installed, I couldn't get the driver to work in FreeBSD 5.4 at all. It complained that it was unable to open /dev/nvidiactl and gave up. Upgrading to FreeBSD 6 solved the problem.

Also, is anyone else having problems with the filesize not matching the stored port filesize for the nVidia control panel port? (x11/nvidia-settings)

The new driver works flawlessly otherwise. I am so enjoying not having to reboot to play games.
