This message means the Nvidia driver found the native AGP driver
that comes with FreeBSD. I'd sugest removing "device agp" from your
kernel and giving it a try. Remember to put nvidia_load="YES" in
/boot/loader.conf.
Another sugestion is not to use any kind of compiler optimization
in /etc/make.conf.
I've a FX5200 128MB and it worked fine with 5.3-STABLE from
yesterday.
