Some packages only compile against the running kernel, others use
the /usr/src/linux symlink to decide. So I have a few lines
in /etc/conf.d/local.start to take care of such re-emerges when I reboot
with a new kernel.
# Re-emerge NVidia drivers after a kernel compile
lsmod | grep --quiet nvidia || grep --quiet softlevel /proc/cmdline || \
(FEATURES="-distcc -buildpkg -sandbox" emerge --oneshot nvidia-kernel
&& modprobe -v nvidia && /etc/init.d/xdm stop zap start)
