Well you could simply download the .deb's from unstable.  If you happen
to have actual pinning setup and unstable listed in your sources.list
then you should be able to do:

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source/unstable
m-a clean,a-i -t nvidia
apt-get install -t unstable nvidia-glx

That should probably take care of it.

If you don't have it setup for pinning fully, then you could download the
packages from packages.debian.org/nvidia-glx/ for i386 or amd64 (whichever
you use) and install nvidia-kernel-source*deb with dpkg -i first, then
do m-a then install nvidia-glx*deb.  Might need nvidia-common updated
as well, although I don't remember if that has changed recently or not.
