	I was looking at x11-drivers:

huff@jerusalem>> dir /usr/ports/x11-drivers | grep video-n
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   512 Aug 21 20:20 xf86-video-neomagic
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   512 Aug 21 20:20 xf86-video-newport
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   512 Aug 21 20:20 xf86-video-nouveau
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   512 Aug 21 20:20 xf86-video-nsc
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel   512 Aug 21 20:20 xf86-video-nv

	If that's true, shouldn't the nvidia-drivers be moved?
