As per the usual answer here, you really shouldn't need it just to build
drivers. I think that Nvidia have picked up that clue by now, all even
mildly sane distros have something useful under
/lib/modules/<kernelversion>/build (be it a symlink or a real directory
with the needed files).
If you actually want the source for building a custom kernel, that's a
legitimate use of course, and then there's instructions for how to get
the Fedora-patched source tree from the kernel SRPM in the distribution
release notes.

The nv driver, while not providing any 3D acceleration, should be _much_
better than using a vesa driver in terms of usable video modes etc...
You might want to use that as a backup instead.
Best regards,
