Read UPDATING:
$ grep --context=2 nvidia /usr/src/UPDATING
	libraries linked to libkse, then it is also recommended
	that you map libkse to libpthread.  Anyone that is using
	nvidia supplied drivers and libraries should use a libmap.conf
	that maps libpthread to libc_r since their drivers/libraries
	do not work with libpthread.

If you are unfamiliar with libmap.conf, read the man page for more info:
$ man libmap.conf

Check the NVIDIA/FreeBSD FAQ:

Search the archives:

If you still can't figure it out, reply back listing the steps you've 
taken in trying to resolve the problem.

Hope that helps,
