This is what I thought. The nouveau driver isn't supporting Xv
(probably you are missing DRM support in the kernel for it). Things
will be slow and more resource intensive with vo=x11, and you have
issues with scaling (hence no -fs without -zoom).

It's not asking you to recompile the kernel, its looking for the
source code for this kernel, so that it can build the nvidia driver
for your current kernel. Getting the nvidia-driver to work is well off
topic for this list, email x11 at freebsd.org.
