OK - this line:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('member_execute_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;

is the place where the plugin code gets executed (if hook location member_execute_start is selected). So you don't need to edit member.php (at least to do what you're trying to do here), you can just put the code in the plugin. Also, you need to use vB_Template:reRegister() because at the point that the plugin code is run, you don't have $templater set yet.

So, take that code out of member.php and try this as your plugin code:

$usrid = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$gfxpquery = $db->query_read("SELECT gfxpoints FROM user WHERE userid = '".$usrid."'")or die(mysql_error());
$gfxpoints = mysql_result($gfxpquery,0);
vB_Template::preRegister('memberinfo_block_ministats', array('gfxpoints' => $gfxpoints));
