The one in /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver-173. I have to use this for the aging FX 5200. > Have a look at the x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau port.

(This works very nicely with dual core CPUs: I use one thread for the rendering and another for the numerics.) I'll keep digging (and getting educated, I guess). Incidentally, in Debian GNU/Linux they have a system of clever "diverts" which avoid these kinds of library clashes.
