Sort of.

You'll need the headers for the bpo kernel in addition to the image package.

Then you'll want module-assistant, nvidia-glx, and nvidia-kernel-source.

Once these are installed and you're running the new kernel the following 
 (as root) should compile and install the nvidia kernel module:

m-a a-i nvidia-kernel

AFAIK, they work with both.
