Nvidia GPU auto-fan-speed -before- X?

...something I've always wanted to be able to do.  If I want a quiet CLI session I have to start X then dump it (logging out of my WM speeds the fan up again).
What I want to do is have the appropriate driver loaded before X (as early as possible, actually).

Has anyone done this?  I've never been able to find anything on it.
Here's part of my rc.conf:

MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(!snd_pcsp)


DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal network netfs crond)

...and my xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
    Load           "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Configured Video Device"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    Option        "NvAGP" "1"
    Option         "RenderAccel" "1"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
#    Option         "Composite" "Enable"
    Option         "RENDER" "Enable"
#    Option         "DAMAGE" "Enable"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Device         "Configured Video Device"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "NoLogo" "True"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "nvidia-auto-select"
    EndSubSection
EndSection
