(informally, I'd also welcome you to our D800 list @ http://ox.eicat.ca/mailman/listinfo/dell-d800) Anyways, I find there are a few things that make the nvidia driver work for me ... and they're all important. Firstly, compile your kernel with 'device agp' ... this is the default. Next, recompile your nvidia driver when you recompile your kernel. Not always necessary, but "portupgrade" makes it easy and it's a problem often enough if you've been following current. Lastly, compile the nvidia driver with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP=YES WITH_NVIDIA_HACKS=YES WITH_ACPI=YES. The WITH_FREEBSD_AGP=YES goes with the option above. I've never used the nvidia AGP code.
