The dependency chain goes like this: nvidia-glx depends on
nvidia-kernel-1.0.8776, which is provided by the
nvidia-kernel-2.6.18-4-amd64 package, which depends on
linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 (amd64 being my architecture, it's 486 for
yours).
You can use the nvidia-kernel-source package to build your own
nvidia-kernel-1.0.8776 package with the right dependencies. It will
be easiest to use module-assistant for this.
Install the module-assistant package and run it as root. It should be
easy enough to use.
