I had the same problem.  I found that those symbols are defined in the agpgart 
module.  If you load agpgart first, things should work.
Why nvidia's agp support is no longer useable on its own I don't know.  I 
never saw any comments to the effect that nvidia.ko now requires agpgart, but 
it seems to be the case.
