Troy,
as the NVidia driver is a kernel space module the driver has to _always
fit the running kernel_. Independent on how you upgrade your kernel, you
will always have to rebuild the NVidia graphics driver module (kernel
upgrade here means changed source!).
I hope this answers your question, even it satisfies you not. From my
experience it is quickly done: 2 command runs with ~ 2 minutes.
