This is on both my current laptop (Dell Precision M4800) and a new(er) one (Dell Precision 7520); the current laptop's graphics card shows up as:
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x05cc1028 chip=0x11fc10de rev=0xa1
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M]'
class = display
subclass = VGA
and the new(eR) one as:
vgapci0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x17b01028 chip=0x13b610de rev=0xa2
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
device = 'GM107GLM [Quadro M1200 Mobile]'
class = display
subclass = VGA

dmesg reports:
link_elf_obj: symbol nvidia_driver_name undefined
linker_load_file: /boot/modules/nvidia.ko - unsupported file type
KLD nvidia-modeset.ko: depends on nvidia - not available or version mismatch
linker_load_file: /boot/modules/nvidia-modeset.ko - unsupported file type
for each.
So I suspect that "link_elf_obj: symbol nvidia_driver_name undefined"
whine is likely salient.
As a circumvention:
cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver && \
sudo svn merge -c -r564088 . && \
sudo portmaster x11/nvidia-driver
worked for me (well, for the current laptop; I left the newer laptop
broken, as I only ssh into it, as its built-in mouse doesn't seem
to work with FreeBSD, nor does its wireless card (yet)).
Peace,
