NetBSD ported[2] it in 7.1 but other BSDs have shown little interest. If you just want KMS (e.g. for UEFI or Wayland) then nvidia-driver supports it since 364.16 but nvidia-drm.ko hasn't been ported. Like missing native libcuda.so.1 NVIDIA is probably not interested unless you buy enough Quadro cards. $$$ spent would be similar to buying AMD GPUs then donating to FreeBSD Foundation to help porting/updating amdgpu. ;) [1] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/commit/?id=f8ac9e35bd20 [2] https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/NetBSD/
