The correct solution, IMO, will be to repackage[1] the Nvidia driver as two RPMs, a nvidia-kernel-driver-XXX.rpm and nvidia-libGL-XXX.rpm. The nvidia-libGL-XXX.rpm will be equivalent to xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL (in other words, it will provide libGL.so.1). [1] Livna.org provided something like this but I never could rebuild the rpm for the latest nvidia driver and the latest kernel, so I ended up making my own nvidia-libGL rpm.
