Is nvidia-driver-304 doomed?

[2422636.172] ================ WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ================
[2422636.172] This server has a video driver ABI version of 24.1 that this
driver does not officially support.  Please check
http://www.nvidia.com/ for driver updates or downgrade to an X
server with a supported driver ABI.

Or, is it safe to use --ignoreABI on FreeBSD?

Or, can the port somehow be patched to work with the new ABI even though it's
closed-source?

I was able to work around this on my old iMac by upgrading to
nvidia-driver-340, but I have another system where the 340 kernel module
reports that I need 304 for my chipset.

Thanks,

   JB
