Hi Apostolos,
You might need to replace OI nvidia driver with one from their site

OK but as I have wrote in my original message I
need to remove the xorg-something package but this
package is a prerequisite for the install_mate
package! SO i have to delete mate and then xorg
to insatll the new nvidia driver but then I will
not be able to install mate!!! This is a real problem!

As far as I remember running NVIDIA's installer can be done without any
changes to the installed packages.
At least, it should work until we provide an update of our NVIDIA
package (which will most probably overwrite files installed by running
the installer).
If you want to remove OI's NVIDIA package it should be sufficient to
uninstall the packages "userland-incorporation" and "entire", eg. with
pfexec pkg uninstall entire userland-incorporation
But be aware that userland-incorporation "fixates" all userland packages
to a common baseline. If you remove it, you can install or remove
arbitrary package versions. That gives some freedom but also brings some
responsibilities. After that you should be able to simply remove
the driver with
pfexec uninstall nvidia
Diclaimer: I haven't tried to uninstall driver/graphics/nvidia yet.
Regards,
Andreas
