There's no chance of having your card work on FreeBSD at this time
unfortunately. It *should* work on Linux, using the kernel modesetting
driver paths however.
I have no plans whatsoever to bring the fixes/improvements present in
the nouveau kernel module back to the userspace portion of the driver.
So unless someone does this work, or ports the latest nouveau kernel
code to FreeBSD, you're out of luck.
Sorry!
