The problem is more that it is *not* possible to use nvidia-agp at all. When 
using the nVidia closed source driver you can use the standard linux kernel 
agp or the agp module from nVidia (nvidia-agp). nvidia-agp generally works 
better and faster with the nVidia Xorg driver.

I've also filed a bug/request reguarding agp modules:

I've been experimenting with this on Breezy while developing the Xorg config 
utility for Guidance (which is planned to be in Dapper).

cheers,
