I'm not sure, but I doubt it. I corresponded with somebody at NVidia about
getting documentation for a driver for NetBSD - and they told me to wait for
the FreeBSD driver. Note that this was several months ago. I am not positive
on this, but I think it is safe to assume that nVidia at the moment has no
plans to support NetBSD. It sounded that way in the response I got from them
when I asked about NetBSD support. And the reason I doubt it is because so
far as I know, FreeBSD and NetBSD's kernel module mechanisms are signifigantly
different... it would be a lot easier to port than the Linux drivers, i
imagine, though :)
