Wayfire requires DRM drivers, even when nested under Xorg. Before
playing with Wayfire try DRM troubleshooting:

  # pkg install nvidia-drm-kmod
  # sysrc kld_list-=nvidia && kldunload nvidia
  # sysrc kld_list-=nvidia-modeset && kldunload nvidia-modeset
  # sysrc kld_list+=nvidia-drm && kldload nvidia-drm

then ensure /dev/dri/card0 exists and confirm KMS/DRM works:

  # pkg install kmscube
  $ vidcontrol -s 1 </dev/ttyv0
  $ kmscube

Disclaimer: I don't have an NVIDIA GPU and don't use Wayfire.
