In that case, you are correct, it /would/ require that USE flag, since
xorg itself is normally built with dlloader now, no flag to choose. 
NVidia would have to be built to load that way too, flag or no flag, or it
simply wouldn't work, and as it's still comtrolled by a flag, that flag
will have to be set, or it won't work.

So... I'd say don't bother investigating.  It has to be dlloader, and for
those still controlled with a flag, that means that flag has to be on.
