To elaborate on
cynwulf's point, the main *BSD projects
(FreeBSD, NerBSD, & OpenBSD...) have had over fifteen years to diverge from each other, & while there are still similarities, drivers designed for one variant are not compatible with another.
Given that nVidia is not interested in releasing the specifics of either their hardware or the software they provide to access chip functionality, there is little interest in the NetBSD & OpenBSD camps to attempt reverse engineering.
Besides, reverse engineering is very difficult & time-consuming.
