If that's the case, please see 799960 and the relative discussion for more information. [1] As it was written by Andreas in that thread, support was dropped for building amd64 kernel with the i386 userspace packages because amd64:i386 kernel is no longer available in unstable. As he suggested, you should be able to build the module by installing the package nvidia-kernel-dkms:amd64 thanks to multiarch.
