I handle that by having two xorg.conf's that solely differ in 
the 'Driver "nv"' or 'Driver "nvidia"' statement. On Fedora, I would put that 
early in the boot sequence, probably in the udev scripts 
in /etc/sysconfig/modules. Name it so it ends in .modules, and it would look 
something like (untested):

if [ -f /proc/xen/capabilities ]; then
if `grep -q "control_d" /proc/xen/capabilities`; then
  cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  exit 0; fi; fi
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia /etc/xorg.conf

Then you just have to watch for system updates that might change xorg.conf, 
and change your other two .conf files to match, except for the video driver.
