I think the latest (perhaps development) version of XFree86 4.2 has
support for the GeForce 4 (but the FreeBSD port is not yet incorporating
the necessary patches).  I'm sure it was in their changelogs.  I'll have a
look for you .....  Yep, it seems to be in number 23 the changelog @
http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/changes.html although the nv driver page
doesn't reflect this at the moment.  You might need to use cvs and check
out the latest code (http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/) or wait until the next
time the port is updated and should have support for your card.
