Ok, the only other reason I can think of right now is that your motherboard's 
agp chipset isn't supported by the nvidia driver. In that case you'll need to 
load the FreeBSD agp driver and recompile the nvidia driver with support for 
freebsd's agp driver.

# cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver
# make config
check "FREEBSD_AGP"
# make clean
# make deinstall reinstall clean

Also, you need to go back to the "GENERIC" kernel w/ agp included, or load agp 
by specifying agp_load="yes" in /boot/loader.conf.

Hope this helps,
