I don't think so.
See http://fedoranews.org/contributors/stanton_finley/fc3_note/#nVidia 
doesn't seem to indicate a need for the kernel source.

Don't know about OSS; maybe somone else that uses it could give a 
definitive answer.

The gist of it is that the regular kernel package provides the headers, 
Makefiles etc. needed to build most properly-written kernel modules in 
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build, so a separate kernel-source package 
isn't needed.
