Well, after much hair-pulling, I finally tried the brute-force solution:

I did:

rpm -e --nodeps XFree86 XFree86-devel (this breaks lots of dependencies)
rpm -e <all nvidia-graphics packages>

apt-get -f install (to re-install XFree86 + XFree86-devel & fix broken 
dependencies)
apt-get install nvidia-graphics4363-kmdl-`uname -r`
apt-get install nvidia-graphics4363-devel

That seems to have done the trick!  My XFree86.0.log shows the GLX 
extension loading, and the framerate on MythGallery looks better (hard 
to tell over VNC, but it's noticeable).  Now to see if TuxRacer still 
works...
