Nvidia got some of the necessary patches needed to build under kernel 3.3, but not all. You can get what you need from http://www.lwfinger.com/nvidia_patches. Those patches are designed to be applied to the extracted Nvidia material from a 'sn ./NVIDIA.....run -x". If you want to use Nvidia's mechanism to patch the .run file, then you need to remove the first directory entry in the patch control lines. For example, "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.33.orig/kernel/conftest.sh" goes to "kernel.orig/conftest.sh", etc.
