the normal kernel and then boot to the lts kernel? The kernel boots fine, but X is dead, presumably because the nvidia driver isn't compiled against that kernel and laughs when you tell it to start.

You don't. It's a kernel meant for servers, there won't be any module packages for it. A machine that needs the nvidia driver is not a server.

Any way of having a separate driver in the lts kernel module tree? To do that would you just install the nvidia driver again while the lts kernel is running and have it get put in the right place?

There's a PKGBUILD for nvidia, you can make it nvidia-lts with a few simple modifications. But again, you miss the point of this kernel package.
