It appears it's trying to run pkg-config, and you don't have it on your
system, which is entirely possible. To remedy that, run
pkg search -r pkg-config
to find out what package it's in. That should tell you it's in
SUNWgnome-common-devel. So run
pkg install SUNWgnome-common-devel
and confirm that /usr/bin/pkg-config exists. Then try running
nvidia-xconfig again.
That'll at least get you to the next step; whether it's enough to get
compiz running, I dunno.
I'll let other folks handle the other questions.
