I may be completely wrong here, but I was under the impression that the nvidia drivers will only work with XFree 4.01 or greater. And to get any of the real benefits out of XFree 4.01 (hardware 3d renedering etc) you need a 2.4.x kernel.
Thus if I were you, I'd get hold of a 2.4.2 kernel, complile with support for AGP and DRI, upgrade XFree86 to the latest, and then try reinstalling the nvidia modules: they work great here.
