I am having an addition put on where the telephone cable currently
enters the house. Cavalier telephone has not responded to my request
to reroute the cable other than "it will be very expensive".

So when the contractors cut the cable I will be left with a dangling
bit of aerial wire that I will run underground ( 6- 8 ") about 150
feet to the NIC box. Questions:
1. What kind of connector can I use to splice the aerial cable to
the new cable?
2. What kind of cable should I use for underground wiring? I dont
want to run conduit if I can help it. BTW I have DSL so quality of
signal matters.
3. Most importantly, Are there instructions anywhere for this?
TIA

Is the the Cavalier Telephone in Virginia?

Note that you can't really do what you are proposing without running afoul
of the Cavalier Tariff: Since you apparently have competition in the area,
how about calling the other phone company and seeing if they will relocate
the service for you for free (in exchange for changing carriers). Then call
Cavalier back and ask if they'd like to match the offer.
