In addition to Matthew's suggestion, you might do well to force a
reinstall of the nvidia-driver port, to ensure that its own GL libs
are available, instead of any installed by other ports.
Note also that if you update your system, you should reinstall the
port, as it needs to be compiled against the source for the running
kernel. Not recompiling it in the event you carry out a buildworld/
buildkernel cycle, etc, will likely lead to strange failures of the
driver.
