I don't know how much you've done, but have you made sure that the system is set for nvidia opengl? I think if it weren't it might explain why it's not saying no screens found with the nvidia driver, but glx isn't working.
eselect opengl list - is nvidia the one with the * by it?

Yup
# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"
and it's within the "Module" section. All it took was to uncomment the
line. But it's not bad. I got the nvidia kernel to work and that's a
major step forward.
However, AGPGART was not compiled as a module but compiled directly into
the kernel which means NvAGP cannot be used, so now I'm recompiling the
kernel with AGPGART as a module and I've added Option "NvAgp" "3" to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf ... and then I'll have to do the nvidia-kernel dance
again and if that doesn't do anything I'll come "screaming" again ;)
But at least the nvidia-kernel _does_ work :)
