Yes, it's `pkg info --pkg-message nvidia-driver` (or pkg info -D nvidia-driver).
But the pkg-message change is maybe too subtle, and could be more
attention grabbing. Sorry for the breakage.
================================8<================================
To use these drivers, make sure that you have loaded the NVidia kernel
module, by doing
# kldload nvidia (or nvidia-modeset, see below)
or adding
nvidia_load="YES" (or nvidia-modeset_load="YES", see below)
...
Starting with version 358.09, some important functionality of the driver
has been broken out into a separate kernel module, nvidia-modeset.ko.
Users that experience hangs when starting X11 server, or observe
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated MetaModes:
(II) NVIDIA(0): "NULL"
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log should replace ``nvidia'' with ``nvidia-modeset''
in their /boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.conf configuration files, depending
on how they prefer to load NVidia driver kernel module.
