I see.  The VERSION variable is supposed to be set by including
/usr/share/modass/include/generic.make, and you apparently do not have
module-assistant installed, do you?

Probably nvidia-kernel-source should stop recommending kernel-package
and just depend on module-assistant like every other $module-source
package does.
