My initial thought would be to install all 4 modules in the form of
nvidia-current.ko, nvidia-304.ko etc, and then to use a script to
detect the current hardware, select the correct driver and copy that
driver into place, and finally running depmod. The script could be run
during package installation and then dropped in place (something like
/usr/bin/nvidia-select.sh) so the user could manually run it at any
time should they update their hardware etc.

So to answer your question in the way it is worded, the kernel will
always load the correct one as that will be the only one available -
the trick is to ensure it is indeed the 'correct' one that is
available.

That would be great! Is the userland (nvidia-settings etc) the same for all driver versions? Also, with regards to space, there is deltarpm which should help with the big packages.
