Its far less work than AMD or Intel drivers which depend on a massive Linux KPI shim layer.
The nvidia drivers are a binary blob surrounded by a FreeBSD src-based shim layer. If you're running a -release branch, you just install the nvida driver pkg and you're done. If you run -current like I do (with no KBI guarantees) you re-build the nvidia port every time you update your OS.
All in all, the nvidia drivers "just work" and are very boring. I'll pay a premium for boring.
