I owe you big if you do.
A question better asked on X.org mailing-lists, but if you need to use the NVidia drivers, it'd be best to wait until they release new drivers to avoid mix'n'matching. You can double-check the version of XRandR supported by the server with "xrandr --version". With XRandR 1.5, and GNOME 3.18, MST monitors should just work. If they don't, file a bug against mutter, which handles programming the video outputs.
