Many thanks, I have it working now. Summary for anyone else who needs to do
this:

- fetch nvnet.tar.gz from
http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/net/nvnet/nvnet.tar.gz?tarball=1

- unpack nvnet.tar.gz under /usr/ports/net

- since the network interface is not working at this moment, I had to fetch
the other files into /usr/ports/distfiles/ manually:
http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0261/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.tar.gz
[this is a Microsoft FTP server, remember to set binary mode!]

- cd /usr/ports/net/nvnet

- in Makefile, change
     NVNETVERSION=   20040108
  but leave NVVERSION=0261 (version 0269 is for AMD64 processors I am told)

- append to 'distinfo'
MD5 (nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz) = 96730b413cb1f949f6cdadb6797740c2
SIZE (nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz) = 17547

- make install

- append to /boot/loader.conf
if_nv_load="YES"

Regards,

Brian.
