There are quite some ways to use the nvidia driver. Difficult to
say which one is suited for you, you have to try different things
and keep the one that does not crash the machine :-/.
The docs in /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA provide some info on what
you can try.
About your config:
You seem to have agp in your kernel so it's not needed to load it in
boot/loader.conf. Did you compile the port with WITH_FREEBSD_AGP="YES",
since you apparently want to use the AGP from FreeBSD? Alternatively,
if you built the nvidia driver with default options (nvidia agp),
comment out agp in your kernel config and comment the agp entry in
loader.conf (although it might work when both agp's are loaded).
Also see this page http://www.soulwax.net/nvidia/ , it contains
useful tips.
Good luck,
Karel.
