If I understand correctly, that driver needs to link against a closed
library from nvidia. Citation from
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=nve&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+7-current&format=html

"This driver is a reimplementation of the NVIDIA supported Linux nvnet
 driver and uses the same closed source API library to access the underly-
 ing hardware.  There is currently no programming documentation available
 for this device, and therefore little is known about the internal archi-
 tecture of the MAC engine itself."

There is however a native driver for FreeBSD called nfe, which I think
would be a better option. See the following links
