Huh. That has not been my experience: I have
PORTS_MODULES+=x11/nvidia-driver
in /etc/src.conf, and it almost always Just Works. (I'm tracking head,
stable/12, and (now) stable/13 daily, so that's quite a number of
build/installs.)

I did go ahead and comment out the above-quoted /etc/src.conf line,
re-started hte build/install (which worked without incident).
I have restored the
PORTS_MODULES+=x11/nvidia-driver
line in /etc/src.conf, and I'm rebuilding again.
I suspect that I could merely have copied (installed) the updated
share/mk/* files... but it's my perception that there are some exposed
sharp edges there. :-}
OK; the rebuild that includes x11/nvidia-driver appears to have
succeeded, so that appears to be *a* way to address it.
Peace,
david

That broadly-popular "American Rescue Plan" (stimulus/COVID relrief)?
Ever Republican vote in Congress was against it.
