Yup.  I did it myself at the beginning of last month.  (Except I
rolled my own kernel.)
I tried that once, I obviously didn't do everything right..

It takes some practice.  And hardware knowledge...

Note that, officially, you'll have to get rid of any binary video
driver and go with the corresponding xserver-xorg-video-* driver,
but you *can* run the 64-bit nvidia driver and 32-bit libs with a
little effort.

I have a Dell with NVIDIA GeForce card.. right now I use the sgfx -c from a terminal to update the driver.
are you saying you use the NVIDIA..###.run and then:
Extract the .run and then run the 'nvidia-installer' inside it

The .run files are containers,

with --no-kernel-module

You need both the 32-bit *and* 64-bit .run files.

64-bit for the module, and 32-bit for everything else.
