The most recent PAE version in the Stable repo is 3.7.10-antix.7-pae. Does it have the bug which prevents installation of NVIDIA drivers?

If yes, will one without the bug become available?

I think it should be ok. Could someone test this to check.

I don't have any nvidia stuff, but I know the 3.7.10-antix.5 had issues with compiling kernel modules for the VirtualBox Guest Additions. The 3.7.10-antix.7-pae compiles and installs VirtualBox kernel modules just fine.

That concurs with the info on the antiX wiki page (although the PAE kernel is not mentioned explicitly). Incorporating your info, 5 had the fault, 7 has the fix for PAE and non PAE.
