I don't think so.
My guess is that this module is:


CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA
  This option gives you AGP support for the GLX component of the
  XFree86 4.x on NVIDIA nForce/nForce2 chipsets.
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  You should say Y here if you use XFree86 3.3.6 or 4.x and want to
  use GLX or DRI.  If unsure, say N.


nForce is motherboard chipset, not a GPU.

BTW, I am running the "nv" XFree86 driver too, and without any NVidia's
binary kernel module.
No accelerated 3D graphics, but the videocard works for 2D.
