I don't know whether this is an oversight on my part dating back a ways, or whether it's a relic of something else. I may have missed them originally because they are located in x11, not x11-drivers, and then gone to the nvidia website and downloaded a driver. I found the ports drivers last night but can't test due to the other problem I asked about regarding xmlto (docbook.xsl issue) not working in the devel/dbus (via xorg or x11/nvidia-driver) build. Thanks.
