This should not be needed. The X server (actually, the nvidia module
loaded in the X server) should create these automatically if they do
not exist. From an strace of X on my system after removing the
nvidiactl and nvidia0 device nodes:
2262 stat64("/dev/nvidiactl", 0xbffcea38) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
2262 stat64("/dev/nvidiactl", 0xbffcea38) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
2262 mknod("/dev/nvidiactl", S_IFCHR|0666, makedev(195, 255)) = 0
2262 chmod("/dev/nvidiactl", 0666) = 0
2262 chown32("/dev/nvidiactl", 0, 0) = 0
2262 open("/dev/nvidiactl", O_RDWR) = 7
2262 stat64("/dev/nvidia0", 0xbffce9a8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
2262 stat64("/dev/nvidia0", 0xbffce9a8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
2262 mknod("/dev/nvidia0", S_IFCHR|0666, makedev(195, 0)) = 0
2262 chmod("/dev/nvidia0", 0666) = 0
2262 chown32("/dev/nvidia0", 0, 0) = 0
2262 open("/dev/nvidia0", O_RDWR) = 8

If you comment out the line:
Load "glx"
in xorg.conf, do you still get the crash?
How are you starting the X server? Does it still crash if you run just "X :0"?
