Rats! Sorry that didn't help.
One other thing occurs to me - you mentioned you updated some ports. Have
you also updated your system source tree without doing a full buildworld
cycle? If so, chances are that your nVidia driver is built against a
different version of the kernel source than the running kernel. Although
any differences will be minimal, there is a chance that something changed
enough to upset the driver.
Failing that, all I can suggest is that you keep an eye on your console
and see if the driver emits any messages just before it chokes.
Good luck!
