You'll need to run the binary nvidia-driver (~ports/x11/nvidia-driver)
for this to work.  Once that works, the xorg.conf-entries are rather
simple:

 # see /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0 for nVidia-specific docs
 Section "Device"
   Identifier  "NV AGP"
   Driver      "nvidia"
   BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
   Option      "TwinView" "on"
   Option      "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024"   
   Option      "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "28-64"
   Option      "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
   Option      "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"  # Or RightOf
   Option      "RenderAccel" "true"
 EndSection
 
 Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "NV AGP"
    Monitor     "samsung"
    DefaultDepth 24

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1280x1024"
    EndSubsection
 EndSection
 
 Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout 1"
    Screen     "Screen 1"
    InputDevice "Mouse 1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Keyboard 1" "CoreKeyboard"
 EndSection

The screen-section sets up the primary display, the other is set
up with the SecondMonitorXXXXXXX-options in the Device Section.
ServerLayout sets the screen-section to use.
