I'd also rename the ebuild to something like

That way it becomes a completely new app from portage's point of view
and therefore not subject to updated
If I want to freeze my nvidia-drivers because any upgrade will abandon my
hardware, masking out newer versions doesn't seem to be enough as it will also
offer to downgrade once that version is no longer in the portage tree.
Is it simpler to just remove nvidia-drivers from the world file?
