Well you can look for my patch to the driver package on the mailing list

Subject is [pkg-nvidia-devel] Work towards 2.6.29 support.

Let me see if I can find a link...

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-nvidia-devel/2009-April/001254.html

So if you want to try, you can do:
apt-get source nvidia-graphics-legacy-173xx
cd nvidia-graphics-legacy-173xx-*
patch -p1 < ../nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-173xx-173.14.15-2.6.29.patch
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
dpkg -i ../nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx-source*deb
m-a a-i -t nvidia-kernel-legacy-173xx

If you try, please let us know if it works or not, although we will
probably update to the new version while we are at it anyhow.
