b. is it possible to dev it with zero skill?
No. It may be possible to force the use of a VESA graphics configuration with the vesa(4) driver via xorg.conf(5) provisioning.

how much time to learn?
Even with decades of knowledge and skill, this is unlikely for any NVIDIA hardware, because NVDIA is a closed-source company that does not publish their interfaces. The nv(4) driver was developed by staff at NVIDIA from 2003 through 2010, after which they abandoned it.

d. unfortunately -Qs doesnt brought the size/number of deps regarding a requested package ..
Example, using the abcde package, an application for audio CDs. Installing this package would add 21 KB of data to /etc and 17 MB to /usr/local. Please note that this is pkg_add(1) and not pkg_info(1), and that this can be run by a normal user as nothing is actually added to the system, only size requirements are calculated:
Code:
$ pkg_add -s abcde
