The way *I* read the makefile, legacy card support in the port isn't 
going to be around much longer. Or rather, only until ports support for 
4.x is dropped, whenever that is. So I just deinstalled the 
nvidia-driver port and installed the old version from the file on 
nvidia's website. Probably when I do a clean install for the upgrade to 
6.x, I'll just use the nv driver in xorg and forget the accelerated driver.
