I can't specifically address that issue, but according to this page:
  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/compiz-fusion/nvidia-setup.html
recent nvidia cards should be supported by the 
  x11/nvidia-driver port

The nvidia legacy driver page does not list that card, so it may be
supported with the current x11/nvidia-driver port
  http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html

I have a GT-610 and it is also not listed.
I am in the process of upgrading to 9.1 as well, 
but am fighting a bad SSD and have to reconfigure.

Don't know if this helps or not...
