Thanks to all on the list. This email had the exact solution I needed.

This is the sort of information I wish I could have found in the forums.
I wonder how many other people wasted their time getting the right
solution. The X release people, who know about the problem, could have
averted many problems by simply documenting this.

My nvidia based graphics system was working great until the recent X
upgrade. During one of my recent package upgrades I ran afoul of the
abi problem. And now I can't hit the right combination of masks and
package removals to get back to my working state. Could someone tell
me which packages I need to mask to restore the last working nvidia
based X package set?
Here is what I have in /etc/portage/package.mask for this problem:
# breaks ABI
=x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99
=x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-1.1.2

=x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-1.2.0
