Did you install the driver from ports? Or did you download & install it manually? I would highly recommend using the x11/nvidia-driver-173 port.

First, remove any and all nvidia-driver* ports with:
# pkg_delete

Then reinstall graphics/libGL:
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/libGL && make clean build deinstall install clean

The install the x11/nvidia-driver-173 port:
# cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver-173 && make clean install clean

Add nvidia_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf if it isn't there already.
Also add linux_enable="yes" to /etc/rc.conf if you compiled the driver with linux support.

Reboot, this is sometimes needed for the nvidia driver.

Make sure the kernel driver sees your nVidia card:
% dmesg | grep nvidia

If it still doesn't work, post your xorg.conf.
