I recommend that you download the following: ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/n/nvidia-glx-src/nvidia-glx-src_0.9.769-1_i386.deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/n/nvidia-kernel-src/nvidia-kernel-src_0.9.769-1_i386.deb
Install these and follow the (rather terse) instructions in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-{glx|kernel}-src/README.Debian. This should create debs for nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-<your_kernel_version> which you can install with dpkg. You will also have to edit your XF86Config to refer to the nvidia driver.
