...if you don't have yet the sources:
git clone --branch releng/15.1 https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git /usr/src
That said, I'm not convinced. I have an old nvidia card which work well under 15.1-RELEASE. No compilation was done, just the right choice of the nvidia drivers. Well, I dont use xlibre.
Use the force flag (-f). Then, post the package names of the nvidia drivers.
It may be the xlibre fault or not. You have to dig a little to make a point.
I just reinstalled FreeBSD 15.1-Release. My RTX 3050 is passed thru to a ubuntu 26.04 VM, and the nvidia driver installed without issue. I also get these in dmesg:
nvidia 0000:00:08.0: can't derive routing for PCI INT A
nvidia 0000:00:08.0: PCI INT A: no GSI
But nvidia-smi works just fine, and...
...a similar command:
pkg upgrade -r FreeBSD-ports-kmods
However, when I ran that command, it updated only the generic DRM driver and not any Nvidia or Xlibre related packages.
I read that someone disabled to load the GPU module (AMD) on rc.conf, I didn't have any issue with Intel for instance.
Looks like lvshmem presents a PCIe device to the guest. That sounds usable from FreeBSD, not to mention pretty sophisticated and potentially fast. Not sure about the host side.

Probably, you forgot to upgrade kmods packages.
Do you use freebsd-update or pkgbase?
Didn't well read the title.
Deactivate the loading of this driver, then upgrade. After that, upgrade specifically the FreeBSD-ports-kmods repo: pkg upgrade -fr FreeBSD-ports-kmods
Post:
pkg info -aE | grep nvidia

But I tested it twice and at the reboot I get a kernel panic just before to run the Nvidia driver and the graphical session.
In this machine I use xlibre instead of X.org, I wonder if the combo nvidia + xlibre doesn't work with...
I've asked Claude several times to do something completely new and it did and what it did it works...at least for me.

...15.1-RELEASE-p1. Everything worked great...Except my laptop, a Thinkpad W520, which uses the drm-66-kmod module. Everything else either uses nvidia or no graphics driver at all on the servers.
I go through the upgrade steps, and the freebsd-update upgrade -r 15.1-RELEASE gives me the...
...display and start extracting information.
And yes, it had built in tables for trying to figure out the correct version of the driver (more for nvidia than Intel) so like any tool needs to be kept up to date (think kernel when new hardware is detected say RealTek that no driver knows about)...
I hope there is an option to not install a X11 login manager.
I use Xorg, nvidia and KDE and wouldn't mind at all if the installer could just set it all up. But I don't use login managers.
I don't think there is much leeway in installing the DE's the edge cases will happen with drivers.
...to figure out whether or not it's possible to load drm-kmod and which firmware is needed (though there is still work needed on this). For nvidia he's created a map with the pci-ids (plus subsystem and vendor ids) on nvidia's documention to know which driver to use.
From experience I know...

Specifically difficult are these combos of intel and nvidia GPUs in laptops. Optimus/Prime setups.

I do not have a tested NVIDIA-specific write-up from this machine, because my setup was done on Intel and AMD graphics hardware. NVIDIA on FreeBSD is a different path: it normally uses NVIDIA's proprietary driver, not the drm-kmod setup used for Intel i915kms or AMD amdgpu.
For a modern NVIDIA...
The 304 version drivers have been broken for a very long time. And it would appear the 340 version is now broken too. These drivers have been EoL for many years, and changes in Xorg broke them. The 390 version still works, somewhat, only 2D no more 3D.
