No you don't. nvidia agp is loaded through xorg.conf and requires that the 
FreeBSD agp driver is disabled:
echo 'hint.agp.0.disabled=1'  /boot/device.hints

If your card for some reason does not work with nvidia's agp driver, then you 
need to disable the nvidia agp driver in xorg.conf and remove that line.

Install x11/nvidia-xconfig and look at it's manpage to see that it can 
autogenerate an xorg.conf file for you, with and without the nvidia agp.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

 handbook and have previously compiled a kernel, but if anyone has previously
 add the agp support, could they give me sime pointers?

The agp driver is compiled into the GENERIC kernel. And it is available
as a module that can be loaded via /boot/loader.conf.
