Are you sure that you need to do this? This will install DKMS'ed nvidia
kernel module source and all it's i386 dependencies, including i386-only
toolchain.
Even if you manage to build such kernel module, it just won't load into
your kernel due to architecture mismatch.

And that's not impossible. libgl1-nvidia-glx depend on
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia.
And xserver-xorg-video-nvidia is not Multiarch-aware, i.e. you cannot
co-install xserver-xorg-video-nvidia:i386 and
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia:amd64 at the same time.

There's one. Make i386-only chroot with debootstrap, install
nvidia-glx:i386 in there.
