No you don't. nvidia agp is loaded through xorg.conf and requires that the
FreeBSD agp driver is disabled:
echo 'hint.agp.0.disabled="1"' >> /boot/device.hints
If your card for some reason does not work with nvidia's agp driver, then you
need to disable the nvidia agp driver in xorg.conf and remove that line.
Install x11/nvidia-xconfig and look at it's manpage to see that it can
autogenerate an xorg.conf file for you, with and without the nvidia agp.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
