I had the same problem today, with the same kernel.  It turns out those 
missing symbols are because of the kernel version - there's a patch to add in 
some code so you can recompile, but I recommend upgrading to a newer kernel.  
(I used love-sources, but don't tell the devs or they may lynch me)  You 
could also use an older version of nvidia-kernel, I believe, but it wouldn't 
emerge properly for me anymore.

Here's the patch, in case you want it:

After installing your new kernel/patch, recompile nvidia-kernel (5336-r1) and 
you should be good to go.  At least, it worked for me.
