The README file found at the above URL claims that:

<quote>
FreeBSD -STABLE versions older than 4.7 and FreeBSD -CURRENT are
not supported.
<end quote>

So I guess the answer is no.
It is of course possible that it might work anyway even if NVIDIA don't
support it but since a kernel module is involved and those are generally
not portable between major releases it is not very likely it will work.
