Neither modesetting nor nouveau will function if nomodeset or nouveau.modeset=0 is present on kernel's cmdline, while either of the latter two is required for any nvidia proprietary driver to function. Thus, I'd be surprised to learn that there is any practical way to make an automatic switch between FOSS and proprietary with any NVidia gfxchip.
This paragraph is confusing to me.
You say that for the nvidia proprietary driver to work, one needs either "nomodeset" or "nouveau.modeset=0" in the kernel command line? Well, I use neither:

Well then NVidia must finally have brought its driver into the KMS era. With what version(s) of its driver did this first occur? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
