No...
all you need is to compile the nvidia driver provided on their webpage

be sure you have these packages installed
i | kernel-desktop                 | Kernel optimized for the desktop           
                     
| package
i | kernel-desktop-base            | Kernel optimized for the desktop - base 
modules                 | package
i | kernel-desktop-devel           | Development files necessary for building 
kernel modules         | package
i | kernel-devel                   | Development files needed for building 
kernel modules            | package
i | kernel-firmware                | Linux kernel firmware files                
                     
| package
i | kernel-source                  | The Linux Kernel Sources                   
                     
| package
plus the gnu compiler

once driver downloaded the driver and the missing packages installed... boot 
in mode 3 and bash the nvidia driver...

I am pretty sure somewhere on the wiki there are proper instructions.
