There's no cpuctl_load or nvidia_load in /boot/defaults/loader.conf in 9.0 or 10.0 (I looked at the source on fxr.watson.org for 9.0 since I run 10.0). So there's no way that this can work. Load these modules in /etc/rc.local. What's missing from the nividia-driver port is a start script which should land under $LOCALBASE/etc/rc.d. -- Gary Jennejohn
