The first thing to try is reading the handbook section on configuring
X at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html - specifically
try running

Xorg -configure

as root to get a basic xorg.conf file that you can then tweak

Once you have this working, you may like to try the binary nvidia
driver available from
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=3Den-uk which should
provide the all the features of the graphics card
