Hi LOL,

You should try to compile xorg from ports with the WITHOUT_NOUVEAU knob 
placed in your /etc/make.conf. This will install a more recent libdrm, 
dri and so on. It may helps.

Also see the UPDATING note related to :

20100207:
   AFFECTS: users of Mesa3D libraries and x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau
   AUTHOR: nork_at_FreeBSD.org

   If you want to use Mesa3D 7.6.1 and libdrm 2.4.17 rather than 7.4.4
   and 2.4.12, you must define WITHOUT_NOUVEAU global macro, at least,
   enabled on graphics/libGL*, graphics/libglut, graphics/dri,
   graphics/mesa-demos, and graphics/libdrm.  And please give up using
   x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau.

   At this time, I cannot enable latest Mesa3D and libdrm, because they
   break xf86-video-nouveau.  But old (current?) Mesa3D and libdrm do not
   break any drivers.

   AMD Radeon HD 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx users: If you use AMD Radeon HD [234]xxx
   series, please define WITHOUT_NOUVEAU global macro.  You can then use
   OpenGL Hardware Accelerator feature on these series.

Cheers,
