nvidia-*-4191 are still masked, I believe, NVdriver is still correct for 
the standard drivers. Using the 4191 drivers requires other maskes 
packages to be installed such as:
gcc-3.2.2-r1 [3.2.1-r6]
glibc-2.3.2 [2.3.1-r2]
xfree-4.3.0-r1 [4.2.1-r2]
And gcc 3.2.2-r1 gave me some problems the other night on my new box.
