Maybe you did a portupgrade or reinstall of XFree86-Server? This will
overwrite some files installed by the nvidia driver. I'm always
reinstalling nvidia-driver after upgrading XFree86-Server/libraries
just to be sure. It's also necessary to reinstall the nvidia driver
after upgrading FreeBSD. 
I prefer to reboot the machine after any nvidia-driver reinstall to 
be entirely sure that I have the newest kernel module loaded. Yes, 
that's ugly, but I got a bit reluctant on kldunload/kldload'ing this 
sort of critical things. My home desktop doesn't have a large uptime 
anyway as I'm turning it off if I don't need it.
