You don't need anything in package.mask to run Xorg 7, you just need to
keyword the various packages as ~x86 in /etc/portage/package.keywords.
Then you need to add some of the 7.1 packages to 
/etc/portage/package.mask to prevent the conflict with the nvidia stuff.
My package.mask file contains

 >~x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.0
 >=x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1
 >=x11-drivers/xf86-video-vga-4.1.0
 >=x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.1.0
 >=x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.1.0
 >=x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.1.1
 >=x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-1.1.2
