Greetings

Yesterday was released 190.53 version of Nvidia FreeBSD Driver.

I hope this solves version issues. I was still having :

Code: 
nv-freebsd.h:25:2: error: #error This driver does not support FreeBSD 8.x/-CURRENT!
*** Error code 1
I have the following :

Code: 
*FreeBSD  8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:48:17 UTC 2009linux_base-f9-9_1,1 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (for i386/amd64)
*0xc5f59000 26000    linux.ko
 
Well the message is pretty clear, the driver is not supported in FreeBSD 8. I had the same message trying to install downloaded driver from Nvidia website. I just used the driver in the ports, and everything is fine.
 
It should be supported. But you need to edit the port's Makefile, change the version numbers and run # make makesum.
 
The thread is old a bit but 195th works out of box (port) here for 8-stable@i386 and 9-current@x64,
no interventions in the Makefile.
