Any guess on how long after F9 come out that they will appear?

Given nVidia's past behavior, I'd venture and guess that a new driver will be released shortly after the X.org R7.4 release. (Which hopefully be before July.)
However, given that fact that nVidia has released a number of new graphics card (9500/9600/9800) - that require the beta driver (173.08, using it here on my 9800GTX, has horrible 2D performance), a new beta driver can be expected any day now. (Hopefully with preliminary r7.4 support.)
I did a little bit of research and it turns out the 183.08 driver has experimental support for the X version we ship in F9.
