Can anyone tell me if the nVidia display driver
(ports/x11/nvidia-driver) works on current?  The
nVidia README says it's not "supported" but I'm
wondering if it still works.  Since 5.x and 6.x are
fairly close I'm thinking it might still work and
wondering if anyone has it working - if so I'll try it
out myself.

Thanks,
Alan

(Here's the relevant part of the README)
