I came across this thread on freebsd-questions after some searching on
google. I have the exact same issue as others here- if xorg is started
with 'nvidia' as the driver, instant reboot. However, my machine is a
100% fresh install with things compiled from source this weekend.
However, I did have to install some binary vncserver packages, but
they have since been removed.
I did the 'xorg' meta port which got me the current xorg-7.3_1. The
machine I did the install on was running Debian Unstable for about a
year without issue with the same hardware (two cards for 3 monitors):

I went through many of the steps people spoke of earlier in this
thread, which were some AGP workarounds that are mentioned in Chapter
9:
/usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/work/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-100.14.11/doc/README
No matter what is done, always an instant reboot if I use the "nvidia"
driver in the xorg.conf. Out of curiosity, is anyone actively using
xorg-7.3_1 with nvidia-driver-100.14.11 and having it work?
I too am not quite sure what to look for in the output of 'ldconfig
-r', but I can see that there is nothing linked against any pre-xorg
7.x stuff there:
# ldconfig -R | grep X11 | wc -l
0
Also, the person who had things linked that were stale appears to have
been having a different problem that does NOT cause a reboot:
