Isn't it supported by 285.0509 (October 5, 2011):-
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-285.05.09-driver.html
Perhaps try that.

Have you tried editing the build script?
I know there's an xorg incompatability with the legacy driver (hence my
query above - as I suspect you don't need the legacy driver for your card).
People are getting nvidia proprietary drivers to build with linux-kernel-3.0
