What NVidia card? You probably need to install x11/nvidia-driver or maybe one of the legacy versions (depends on which card you have); x11/nvidia-driver-470, x11/nvidia-driver-390, x11/nvidia-driver-340.

Chapter 5. The X Window System

This chapter describes how to install and configure Xorg on FreeBSD, which provides the open source X Window System used to provide a graphical environment

Oh, and additional documentation that I like pointing people to:

Graphics - FreeBSD Wiki

TBH, OP is lucky to get llvmpipe even going, and KDE being visible... llvmpipe is slow, even with a fast processor.

The fact that KDE is even visible points to the fact that Xorg is working properly, no need to fuss with that.

When a graphics driver loads successfully, the screen will first flicker, and then switch to a higher resolution - on its own. KDE will look better, too.
