Notice that nvidia-glx-1.0.8762 contains an explicit RDEPEND for !>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99 and the combination nvidia-glx-<anything> and xorg-server-1.1.<anything> will fail. With -1.1, the server/driver interface changed, and last I knew, the nvidia driver has not caught up. Notice also that after installing xorg-server, you might have to eselect opengl set nvidia by hand (I do, but haven't bothered tracking down why). If you are running xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8, none of this applies, and you will need information from someone else.
