For the OP, I (just now) got the nvidia driver and x to compile and run
under 9.1 as follows:
1. make and install the x11/xorg port
2. create the symlink /usr/X11R6 to point to /usr/local
if /usr/X11R6 already exists as a regular directory and has stuff in it,
move it aside or delete it. I found mine only had stuff from previous
attempts to build the nvidia driver in it (a "bin" plain file(!), and a
"lib" containing files from the nvidia driver build), so I deleted it.
3. download and unpack the nvidia driver;
I used
NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86_64-304.64.tar.gz
but note that that file is specific to my architecture, which is amd64;
you'll need the appropriate one for your architecture.
4. make the nvidia driver
5. make sure step #4 added the line
nvidia_load="YES"
to /boot/loader.conf
6. add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf if not already present
# Enable hald and dbus for X to work with kbd and mouse
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
Why not just use the port?
