Building the port works fine.

Installing the port requires 'kldload linux' before the port will
install.

Seems like something is mixed-up.

But, kldload nvidia also loads linux.

I guess this means there is no "native FreeBSD AMD64" driver, but, linux
emulation of a driver.  Or, do I mis-understand linux emulation?
