The option I've used is to go with the livna nVidia package.  It seems
to follow closely on the heels of a new fedora kernel offering.  So
when I update, the nVidia package comes onto my system too.  It all
"just works" (so far).

I admit that the DKMS machinery is very nice, and more elegant than
what I do.  I discovered it when I used to use Mandriva.
