Provided you have unstable/non-free in your sources.list, it should work
like this:

- Install the "module-assistant" package.

- Run "m-a update" and "m-a prepare" as root.

- Then you can try to build and install the module like this:

  m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source

  (Users of older cards will need nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source or
   nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-source instead.)

- If you are successful in the previous steps then it should be possible
  to install the nvidia-glx package from unstable.
