Yes. One way is to run, as root,
# Xorg -configure
which will create a file
/root/xorg.conf.new which you can edit to your liking. Reference to
xorg.conf(5) may help. When done, copy the result to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. (If there's an existing file there, you might want to back it up first.) Or you could just start from scratch after reading the man page.

And is my NVIDIA 570GTX graphics card supported under the xf86-video-nv driver?

I don't know as I don't use modular Xorg or NVidia, sorry, but is there any documentation that comes with this component of modular Xorg?

or can i use the FreeBSD x64 NVIDIA driver provided by NVIDIA?

I would think not, the two OSs don't have binary compatibility.

Can someone provide me with the instructions on how to save the PKG_PATH directory, so you don't have to keep re-entering it everytime you start a new session.

Your shell will have a file such as
~/.profile into which you can enter things that will be read each time you log on. Assuming it is an
sh-type shell you could edit the file to contain something like:
export PKG_PATH=http://ftp.netbsd.org/<whatever>
Since you run
pkg_add(1) as root, make sure this goes in root's
.profile.
Hope this helps a bit.
