Well, you did ask for another method to check whether or not Nvidia
support is compiled into Conky, and that's the only method I can think
of at the moment. :)
I have indeed checked conky-std; conky-std does not recognize the
${nvidia} variable (i.e. it displays ${nvidia} verbatim on screen,
whereas with conky-all, it displays the actual temperature of my
Nvidia card). So I'm pretty confident that conky-std (and -cli) are
not tainted by contrib/non-free components.
