My host and VM are FreeBSD.  8-STABLE for me runs fine with current nvidia
drivers installed with GL enabled.


Host:  8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0: Thu Mar 11 14:45:20 CST 2010
pkg_info |grep nvidia
nvidia-driver-195.22 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL
ren

It is when I csup the VM to 8-STABLE the lockup occurs.
