That was my experience with the nvidia stuff before :-(
FYI, it should be trival to jail/chroot 32bit env. on your 64bit host.
I should merge some of the make/env. bits from -current to -stable.
I'll do it after 6.2 is out. I'm thinking about make a general
purpose way to create an image and jump into it. We have it at
work and as a proof of concept. I created a 32bit environment on
a 64bit host and did port built and package add in there of Linux
stuff.
