Grsecurity is far more integrated into the Linux kernel than a graphics driver. It patches huge swaths of Linux core code.
Nvidia is distributing a blob with a few hooks to make it work as a Linux driver. It doesn't touch core Linux code in any way; it adds a driver.
One could complain about Nvidia, too, and I wouldn't be bothered by that (I prefer OSS drivers), but to say that it's the same as Grsecurity is disingenuous (or lacks deep enough comprehension of the problem to comment on the subject).
