How do you turn those down?  /boot/loader.conf?  I tried saying
"hw.nvidia.card.rates="2x 1x" but that didn't seem to do anything (I have
a feeling that putting that in /boot/loader.conf makes no sense...please
consider this a desperate cry for help.)

Is it a bad sign that my sysctl has some weird values in it?

sysctl -a | grep nvidia

       nvidia    21    13K     13K       21  16,32,256

I have yet to try the posted suggestion of NOT loading "agp" into the kernel 
or having it as a module...maybe that's what "WITH_FREEBSD_AGP" refers
to...hmmmmm.....

Thanks,
