I'm trying to install on a Intel

32 Mb NVidia Riva TNT2 64 video card.
As Brian noted, a TNT2 works great with the "nv" driver, although you
may also have to adjust your "Monitor" and "Screen" sections of your
XFree86 config file to work with your monitor.
A reference I found very useful in understanding XFree86
configurations was "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey, Chapter 28.
Also the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html
Here are the relevant portions of my XFree86 config file for my system
with the TNT2 card (note: your BusID is probably different):
more /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
