I need to understand what you mean by "it looks like it's because I need to rmmod nvidia out of the kernel but I can't get it to happen." Please post the console output of what you're trying to do and the relevant error messages.
Also, have you verified that the nVidia driver is loaded at all? When you run glxinfo on the main display (the "3D X server", usually :0) without invoking VirtualGL, does glxinfo indicate that the X server is using the nVidia driver? If not, then you need to resolve that problem prior to attempting to configure VirtualGL. Basically, hardware-accelerated 3D rendering needs to be working properly on the 3D X server without the use of VirtualGL before VirtualGL can be expected to work properly. There is a known issue whereby, on some Linux distributions, the nouveau (open source) driver interferes with the nVidia proprietary driver, but I seem to recall that nVidia's installer automatically takes care of that these days.
