You could read the chapter in the FreeBSD Handbook for X Window System:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html

Or you could get the driver from nVidia for FreeBSD, which can be found here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-4365.html

The list of supported cards is in the Linux README file, here:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4496/README.txt

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould
