You could try to use nVidia's lates official FreeBSD driver, 387.34. I'm running this
driver on CURRENT (as of r327200, but my hardware is an outdated GTX960).

To perform such a task, you need to override somehow the default settings for a port,
this is officially done via /etc/make.conf (I use an include clause in /etc/make.conf
pointing to a ports.conf file located in /usr/local/etc/, this just for the record).
I would suggest the following lines added to make.conf:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/x11/nvidia-driver}
DISTVERSION=            387.34
#DISTVERSION=           384.90
.endif

You need to perform then the command sequence

make -C /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver makesum

to create the new checksum file, after that you're ready to portmaster or whatever to the
new driver.
