Well, read the messages on the screen when you try to emerge
nvidia-drivers. Doesn't it say, that Gentoo only supports the kernels
that NVIDIA supports and that you shall not report a bug nvidia-drivers
failing?

My interpretation of this message in the nvidia-drivers ebuild is that
the maintainers assume that you switch to nouveau. Nouveau works great
for office stuff. But when it comes to gaming I'm hitting a few
obstacles. For example, 32bit apps (like wine) are stuck with whatever
mesa version is supplied by the emul* packages (mesa 9.0.1 or whatever).
It's 2013, and Gentoo still doesn't have proper multilib support in the
portage tree. Gentoo is certainly to blame here, but I'd even go further
and blame autoconf.
