Set a proper hostname in /etc/rc.conf:
Code:
hostname="something.example.com"

Make sure both HAL and DBUS are running. Also make sure /proc/ is mounted.

It's also possible it's already running.

rc.conf is:

Code:
hostname="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
sshd_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
powerd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="NO"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"
proc added as your help in fstab:
Code:
proc            /proc           procfs    sw 0       0
but problem is still there.

Did you verify it's not already running?

ps -aux | grep gdm

I'm a bit at a loss now.. Is there anything in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/messages that might give us a clue?

You should install x11/nvidia-driver, load the kernel module and create a xorg.conf to enable the driver.

Ah. D'oh. Yes, you need to make sure Xorg works before you enable GDM.

Thank you all. I installed brand now driver from homepage of nvidia, but the driver does not support freebsd FreeBSD 9.0. Install nvidia-driver from freebsd FreeBSD itself is possible.

Linux compatible is huge.

Have you created a xorg.conf file. If you have please post it. If you haven't follow this manual.

Next time when installing nvidia-driver you can disable the Linux compatibility, if you have no use for it.
To enable/disable options, cd into the ports directory execute # make config

You don't need it. Remove it from your xorg.conf.

As you can see in the log file, that machine has both an nvidia and intel GPU. I'm guessing it's one of the new laptops with Optimus, in which case you can not use the nvidia GPU as nvidia only supports Optimus on Windows (and maybe OS X).

If I'm right, you have to use the intel GPU, but to get that working with the intel driver, you need to patch your kernel and update various ports:

You're right. But in Gentoo Linux, I just configure i915 in kernel and install nvidia-driver, the gnome windows shows me a nvidia configure option.

But this is not Linux. If you are unable to disable the Intel GPU via the BIOS, then you will be unable to use the nvidia driver here. You will also be unable to use the Intel driver without going through the steps outlined in the link I already provided.
