Update: I cobbled together a "nvidia-173-kernel-source" package using the 173.14.15 beta package at: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.15/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.15-pkg1.run
It compiled via DKMS on a test machine without difficulty under kernel 2.6.28-4-generic.

I wouldn't think of uploading this package because my packaging skills are rudimentary (I wouldn't trust this package any farther than I can throw it) but it was a "proof of concept" that if the package is built with the 173.14.15 beta it will build properly under DKMS.

I can't install nvidia-glx-173 because of bug #308410.
