Take a peek at http://www.suse.de/~hohndel/FreeBSD for some
unsupported versions of the predominantely Linux-orientated SuSE
servers (see http://www.suse.de and follow the links).
[one of them includes support for the Nvidia 128bit AGP/PCI
chip, though you need to make sure your graphics card isn't sharing
an interrupt with anything else].

There are plans for SuSE to integrate their work into the next
release of XFree86 -- when this will actually happen is not entirely
obvious at the moment.

Personal Note: I haven't tried any of this code myself, so I have
no idea whether it actually works :)  unfortunately my AGP machine
is stuck with Windows 95 for awhile..
