OK, I followed the advice and just tried it on a spare user machine.
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-2.6.15-grml
That much worked but was not the whole story. Hardware autodetection of the nVidia card seems to be a problem. My current impression is that GRML does not detect it or set it up properly.
You won't get hardware autodetection for closed source nvidia drivers.
At boot time, grml-x creates /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Now as a test, I ran nvidia-xconfig by hand, which creates its own /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Then I rebooted. That didn't work. When I rebooted, X would not start properly. So I fell back to the old xorg.conf.

You don't have to reboot if you modify xorg.conf, just restart X.
See http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=nvidia for instructions. Thanks to Timo Boettcher for verifying instructions.
