I got it working just fine just by using VirtualGL and a secondary X-server for nVidia. You can't even get the nVidia and Intel GPUs to transfer data without having drm-prime support in the kernel (which has something to do with nVidia <-> Intel data transfer). Linux has drm-prime, FreeBSD doesn't. So there.
