Never the less, I rather have a local copy of the drivers, with a simple
rc.local based script that builds the driver if the kernel is replaced.

Mine looks something in the lines of this:

if [ ! -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko ] ;
then
	pushd /usr/src/drivers/video/nvidia_driver/current
	init 3
	./nvidia_install -a -N -q
	init 5
	popd
fi
