 It should be possible - there are two problems though:
 - xorg's driver may need to be backported to xfree86
 - I have no way to test it since I don't have a single nvidia  
 graphics card
 
 There's a good chance that the import would be trivial though, so I'd  
 suggest you compare source files, if the xorg driver didn't add any  
 new .c or .h files copy them over xfree86's nv driver's source, cross  
 fingers and compile.
