Then post the error that you're getting and the output  of the
pre-emerge checks.

If you build your kernel with genkernel it *should* work. You probably
just had to blacklist the free drivers to resolve the "kernel conflict".
So maybe start over with a fresh genkernel and try that.

That's expected if you didn't recompile the drivers. It means that one of
the features you disabled was used by the driver module. Also make sure
you remove the /lib/modules/4.8.11-gentoo directory before reinstalling
your kernel modules as it looks like video.ko is not supposed to be
there. Maybe you disabled that feature but the modules is still there
from your previous build.

Try rebuilding the nvidia driver.
A good way of dealing with this and other modules is:

emerge -va1 @module-rebuild
