Since this is a common problem, create a set with those packages in it and then just rebuild the set. This is my set up:

/etc/portage/sets/xorg-drivers

Which contains the following packages:

r...@smoker-new / # cat /etc/portage/sets/xorg-drivers
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv
r...@smoker-new / #

This way you don't have to remember the command to list them but just re-emerge the set. Your packages may differ so don't copy mine exactly.

May not fix the current issue but may be handy in the future.
