Until I started specifying that, the attempt to load nvidia.ko would fail (under head), as the module resides in /boot/modules. Note that I have the (single) drive on this machine split into 4 bootable slices, each of which has its own root and /usr file system. (Slice 4 has the partitions that are "common" to all images -- one for swap; another for the /var FS; one for local SVN mirrors mounted on /repo; one for miscellaneous stuff, such as home directories, ports tree, and /usr/local, which I mount under /common. There's another FS called /bkp, but it's not actually used for much usually.) Since /usr/local is the same FS regardless of which slice is booted (thanks to symlinks), I build the ports under stable/9 (which is on slice 1). On the other hand, head is on slice 4. So building x11/nvidia-driver would populate /usr/local/lib and slice 1's /boot/modules, but would not populate any other slice's /boot/*. This is something I have been doing (in the general sense of multiple bootable slices) for over a decade, and have been doing it for x11/nvidia-driver (in particular) for a few years. I have been tracking stable/9 & head daily for quite a while (years -- note the iteration number in the uname output), and after the smoke-test for stable/9, I update all installed ports that have been updated in the last 24 hrs. -- daily.
