It compiles and works fine on my machine with those headers.
All you should have to do is:
apt-get update
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source modules-assistant
rm -rf /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel
m-a prepare -t
m-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel
apt-get install nvidia-glx
Then go convince Xorg to actually use the nvidia driver by putting
'driver "nvidia"' in the appropriate section.
Failing to delete any previous version of the module source can cause
compile failures.
