That's the reason why you like to have the same kernel during the distro
lifetime: you can take a module from 2.6.18-53 and use it on
2.6.18-92.1.1 ... of course you have to copy it and use depmod -a (or
use the weak-updates script that is called after each kernel update)
You're right that nvidia kmod doesn't work with Xen kernels though ...
